Man's inability to communicate is a result of his failure to listen effectively.

The only person who cannot be helped is that person who blames others.

Unless man can make new and original adaptations to his environment as rapidly as his science can change the environment, our culture will perish.

It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried.

The facts are always friendly, every bit of evidence one can acquire, in any area, leads one that much closer to what is true.

So, as you can readily see from what I have said thus far, a creative, active, sensitive, accurate, empathic, nonjudgmental listening is for me terribly important in a relationship. It is important for me to provide it; it has been extremely important, especially at certain times in my life, to receive it. I feel that I have grown within myself when I have provided it; I am very sure that I have grown and been released and enhanced when I have received this kind of listening.

I realize that if I were stable, prudent and static; I'd live in death. Therefore I accept confusion, uncertainty, fear and emotional ups and downs; because that's the price I'm willing to pay for a fluid, perplexed and exciting life.
