It is amazing how many hints and guides and intuitions for living come to the sensitive person who has ears to hear what his body is saying.

If the will remains in protest, it stays dependent on that which it is protesting against.

One does not become fully human painlessly.

It is highly significant and indeed almost a rule, that moral courage has its source in such identification through one's own sensitivity with suffering of one's fellow human beings." (p. 16-17)

What Kierkegaard said about love is also true of creativity: every person must start at the beginning.

The mature person becomes able to differentiate feelings into as many nuances, strong and passionate experiences, or delicate and sensitive ones, as in the different passages of music in a symphony. Unfortunately, many of us have feelings limited like notes in a bugle call.

Whereas moral courage is the righting of wrongs, creative courage, in contrast, is the discovering of new forms, new symbols, new patterns on which a new society can be built.
