Science, Nietzsche had warned, is becoming a factory, and the result will be ethical nihilism.

In my clinical experience, the greatest block to a person's development is his having to take on a way of life which is not rooted in his own powers.

There is no meaningful yes unless the individual could also have said no.

Now, I believe in life, and I believe in the joy of human existence, but these things cannot be experienced except as we also face the despair, also face the anxiety that every human being has to face if he lives with any creativity at all.

Creativity is neither the product of neurosis nor simple talent, but an intense courageous encounter with the Gods.

It is an ironic habit of human beings to run faster when we have lost our way.

The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity.
