I recommend that the Statue of Liberty be supplemented by a Statue of Responsibility on the west coast.

Now, it is my contention that the deneuroticization of humanity requires a rehumanization of psychotherapy.

Pain is only bearable if we know it will end, not if we deny it exists.

The more one forgives himself - by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love - the more human he is and the more he actualizes himself.

When a man finds that it is his destiny to suffer, he will have to accept his suffering as his task. . . . He will have to acknowledge the fact that even in suffering he is unique and alone in the universe. No one can relieve him of his suffering or suffer in his place. His unique opportunity lies in the way in which he bears his burden.

This is the core of the human spirit ... If we can find something to live for - if we can find some meaning to put at the center of our lives - even the worst kind of suffering becomes bearable.

No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him.
