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

Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.

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

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

Through the eclipse of large areas of the self, by repression and inhibition as well as by idealization and externalization, the individual loses sight of himself; he feels, if he does not actually become, like a shadow without weight and substance.

To find a mountain path all by oneself gives a greater feeling of strength than to take a path that is shown.

Because it corresponds to a vital need, love is overvalued in our culture. It becomes a phantom - like success - carrying with it the illusion that it is a solution for all problems.
