The conception of what is normal varies not only with the culture but also within the same culture, in the course of time.

Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.

If you want to be proud of yourself, then do things in which you can take pride

a normal human being ... does not exist.

the idea of a finished human product not only appears presumptuous but even, in my opinion, lacks any strong appeal. Life is struggle and striving, development and growth - and analysis is one of the means that can help in this process. Certainly its positive accomplishments are important, but also the striving itself is of intrinsic value.

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

The most comprehensive formulation of therapeutic goals is the striving for wholeheartedness: to be without pretense, to be emotionally sincere, to be able to put the whole of oneself into one's feelings, one's work, one's beliefs.
