I was awfully curious to find out why I didn't go insane.

There seems no intrinsic reason why everyone shouldn't be (self-actualising). Apparently every baby has possibilities for self-actualisation, but most get it knocked out of them ...I think of the self-actualising man not as an ordinary man with something added, but rather as the ordinary man with nothing taken away.

Religion becomes a state of mind achievable in almost any activity of life, if this activity is raised to a suitable level of perfection.

...the great lesson is that the sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's backyard.

No psychological health is possible unless this essential care of the person is fundamentally accepted, loved and respected by others and by himself.
