Anxiety is essential to the human condition. The confrontation with anxiety can relieve us from boredom, sharpen the sensitivity and assure the presence of tension that is necessary to preserve human existence.

Rollo May 220 quotes

When you are completely absor...

When you are completely absorbed or caught up in something, you become oblivious to things around you, or to the passage of time. It is this absorption in what you are doing that frees your unconscious and releases your creative imagination.

Recall how often in human history the saint and the rebel have be the same person. (p. 35)

Rollo May 220 quotes

Suffering is nature's way of ...

Suffering is nature's way of indicating a mistaken attitude or way of behavior, and to the nonegocentric person every moment of suffering is the opportunity for growth.

Love is generally confused with dependence; but in point of fact, you can love only in proportion to your capacity for independence.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Good art wounds as well as delights. It must, because our defenses against the truth are wound so tightly around us. But as art chips away at our defenses, it also opens us to healing potentialities that transcend intellectual games and ego-preserving strategies.

Rollo May 220 quotes

However it may be confounded or covered up or counterfeited, this elemental capacity to fight against injustice remains the distinguishing characteristic of human beings.

Rollo May 220 quotes

It is an old and ironic habit of human beings to run faster when we have lost our way; and we grasp more fiercely at research, statistics, and technical aids in sex when we have lost the values and meaning of love.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Finding the center of strengt...

Finding the center of strength within ourselves is in the long run the best contribution we can make to our fellow men. ... One person with indigenous inner strength exercises a great calming effect on panic among people around him. This is what our society needs - not new ideas and inventions; important as these are, and not geniuses and supermen, but persons who can be, that is, persons who have a center of strength within themselves.

Rollo May 220 quotes

What is courage? This courage...

What is courage? This courage will not be the opposite of despair. We shall often be faced with despair, as indeed every sensitive person has been during the last several decades in this country. Hence Kierkegaard and Nietzsche and Camus and Sartre have proclaimed that courage is not the absence of despair; it is, rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Courage is the capacity to me...

Courage is the capacity to meet the anxiety which arises as one achieves freedom. It is the willingness to differentiate, to move from the protecting realms of parental dependence to new levels of freedom and integration.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Every human being must have a point at which he stands against the culture, where he says, this is me and the damned world can go to hell.

Rollo May 220 quotes

The creative act arises out of the struggle of human beings with and against that which limits them.

Rollo May 220 quotes

When people feel their insignificance as individual persons, they also suffer an undermining of their sense of human responsibility.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Freedom does not come automatically; it is achieved. And it is not gained in a single bound; it must be achieved each day.

Rollo May 220 quotes

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.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Memory is not just the imprin...

Memory is not just the imprint of the past time upon us; it is the keeper of what is meaningful for our deepest hopes and fears.
