The sacred is in the ordinary...it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's own backyard...travel may be a flight from confronting the scared--this lesson can be easily lost. To be looking elsewhere for miracles is to me a sure sign of ignorance that everything is miraculous.

Creative people are all there, totally immersed, fascinated and absorbed in the present, in the current situation, in the here-now, with the matter-in-hand.

A person who makes full use of and exploits his talents, potentialities, and capacities. Such a person seems to be fulfilling himself and doing the best he is capable of doing. The self-actualized person must find in his life those qualities that make his living rich and rewarding. He must find meaningfulness, self-sufficiency, effortlessness, playfulness, richness, simplicity, completion, necessity, perfection, individuality, beauty, and truth.

We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with. We already have capacities, talents, direction, missions, callings.

The major motivation theories by which most men live can lead them only to depression and cynicism.

Only the flexibly creative person can really manage the future, Only the one who can face novelty with confidence and without fear.

A stupid man behaves stupidly, not because he wants to, or tries to, or is motivated to, but simply because he is what he is.
