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

We may define therapy as a search for value.

I may say that B-love, in a profound but testable sense, creates the partner. It gives him a self-image, it gives him self- acceptance, a feeling of love-worthiness, all of which permit him to grow. It is a real question whether the full development of the human being is possible without it.

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

Self-actualizing people have a deep feeling of identification, sympathy, and affection for human beings in general. They feel kinship and connection, as if all people were members of a single family.

Every person is, in part, 'his own project' and makes himself.

Human beings seem to be far more autonomous and self-governed than modern psychological theory allows for.
