There is no such thing as a normal psychology that holds for all people.

There is no good reason why we should not develop and change until the last day we live.

Life as a therapist is ruthless; circumstances that are helpful to one neurotic may crush another.

To search for truth about self is as valuable as to search for truth in other areas of life.

There's still such chaos in me. Still so little firmly outlined. Just like my face: a formless mass that only takes on shape through the expression of the moment. The searching for our selves is the most agonizing

Let me say to begin with: It is not neurotic to have conflict ... Conflicts within ourselves are an integral part of human life.

To experience conflicts knowingly, though it may be distressing, can be an invaluable asset. The more we face our own conflicts and seek out our own solutions, the more inner freedom and strength we will gain. Only when we are willing to bear the brunt can we approximate the ideal of being the captain of our ship. Spurious tranquillity rooted in inner dullness is anything but enviable. It is bound to make us weak and an easy prey to any kind of influence.
