A dynamic struggle goes on within a person between what he or she consciously thinks on the one hand and, on the other, some insight, some perspective that is struggling to be born.

Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.

Intimacy requires courage because risk is inescapable.

Creativity is the result of a struggle between vitality and form. As anyone who has tried to write a sonnet or scan poetry, is aware, the form ideally do not take away from the creativity but may add to it.

The ultimate error is the refusal to look evil in the face.

One does not become fully human painlessly.

All people are struggling to be creative in some way, and the artist is the one who has succeeded in this task of life.
