The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that man may become robots.

Erotic love begins with separateness, and ends in oneness. Motherly love begins with oneness, and leads to separateness.

The scars left from the child's defeat in the fight against irrational authority are to be found at the bottom of every neurosis.

If I perceive in another person mainly the surface, I perceive mainly the differences,that which separates us. If I penetrate to the core, i perceive our identity, the fact of our brotherhood. This relatedness from center to center - instead of that from periphery to periphery - is 'central relatedness'.

Basically, there can only be two answers. One is to overcome separateness and find unity by regression to the state of unity which existed before awareness ever arose, that is, before man was born. The other answer is to be fully born, to develop one's awareness, one's reason, one's capacity to love to such a point that one transcends one's own egocentric involvement, and arrives at a new harmony, at a new oneness with the world.

If I am attached to another person because I cannot stand on my own two feet, he or she may be a life saver, but the relationship is not one of love.

If I am what I have and if I lose what I have who then am I?
