"Freedom, individualism, authenticity and being yourself so long as you don't hurt another's physical person or property: The creative process is the emergence in action of a novel relational product, growing out of the uniqueness of the individual."

The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.

The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it.

When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity, then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance… provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another.

Powerful is our need to be known, really known by ourselves and others, even if only for a moment.

Don't be a damned ammunition wagon. Be a rifle!

People only seriously consider change when they feel accepted for exactly who they are.
