Our thesis is that symbols and myths are an expression of man's unique self-consciousness, his capacity to transcend the immediate concrete situation and see his life in terms of 'the possible,' and that this capacity is one aspect of his experiencing himself as a being having a world.

I became a psychotherapist because that's where people will unburden themselves, where they will show what is in their hearts.

Courage is necessary to make being and becoming possible.

Everyone has a need for significance; and if we can't make that possible, or even probable, in our society, then it will be obtained in destructive ways.

No one can separate themselves from one's social group and remain healthy, because the very structure of personality is dependent on the community.

Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves.

There is nobody who totally lacks the courage to change.
