Recall how often in human his...

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

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.

Rollo May 220 quotes

What if imagination and art a...

What if imagination and art are not frosting at all, but the fountainhead of human experience?

Rollo May 220 quotes

We must always base our commi...

We must always base our commitment in the center of our own being, or else no commitment will be ultimately authentic.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Competitive individualism mil...

Competitive individualism militates against the experience of community, and that lack of community is a centrally important factor in contemporaneous anxiety.

Rollo May 220 quotes

The first thing necessary for...

The first thing necessary for a constructive dealing with time is to learn to live in the reality of the present moment. For psychologically speaking, this present moment is all we have.

Rollo May 220 quotes

The daimonic refers to the po...

The daimonic refers to the power of nature rather than the superego, and is beyond good and evil. Nor is it man's 'recall to himself' as Heidegger and later Fromm have argued, for its source lies in those realms where the self is rooted in natural forces which go beyond the self and are felt as the grasp of fate upon us. The daimonic arises from the ground of being rather than the self as such.

Rollo May 220 quotes

One of the easiest ways to be...

One of the easiest ways to be irresponsible about power is to forget you have it.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Joy is the zest that you get ...

Joy is the zest that you get out of using your talents, your understanding, the totality of your being, for great aims...That's the kind of feeling that goes with creativity. That's why I say the courage to create. Creation does not come out of simply what you're born with. That must be united with your courage, both of which cause anxiety, but also great joy.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Real freedom is the ability t...

Real freedom is the ability to pause between stimulus and response, and in that pause, choose.

Rollo May 220 quotes

It is well to remind ourselves that anxiety signifies a conflict, and so long as a conflict is going on, a constructive solution is possible.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Artists love to immerse thems...

Artists love to immerse themselves in chaos in order to put it into form, just as God created form out of chaos in Genesis. Forever unsatisfied with the mundane, the apathetic, the conventional, they always push on to newer worlds.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Science, Nietzsche had warned...

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

Rollo May 220 quotes

Vanity and narcissism — the c...

Vanity and narcissism — the compulsive need to be admired and praised — undermine one's courage, for one then fights on someone else's conviction rather than one's own.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Heroes are necessary in order...

Heroes are necessary in order to enable the citizens to find their own ideals, courage and wisdom in the society. The hero carries our hopes, our aspirations, our ideals, our beliefs. In the deepest sense the hero is created by us; he or she is born collectively as our own myth. This is what makes heroism so important: it reflects our own sense of identity and from this our own heroism is molded.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Understanding and love requir...

Understanding and love require a wisdom that comes only with age.

Rollo May 220 quotes

The function of the rebel is ...

The function of the rebel is to shake the fixated mores of the rigid order of civilization; and this shaking, though painful, is necessary if the society is to be saved from boredom and apathy. Obviously I do not refer to everyone who calls himself a rebel, but only to the authentic rebel. Civilization gets its first flower from the rebel.

Rollo May 220 quotes

When we are dealing with huma...

When we are dealing with human beings, no truth has reality by itself; it is always dependent upon the reality of the immediate relationship.

Rollo May 220 quotes

The mature person becomes abl...

The mature person becomes able to differentiate feelings into as many nuances, strong and passionate experiences, or delicate and sensitive ones, as in the different passages of music in a symphony. Unfortunately, many of us have feelings limited like notes in a bugle call.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Many people feel they are pow...

Many people feel they are powerless to do anything effective with their lives. It takes courage to break out of the settled mold, but most find conformity more comfortable. This is why the opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it's conformity.
