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

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

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

While one might laugh at the ...

While one might laugh at the meaningless boredom of people a decade or two ago, the emptiness has for many now moved from the state of boredom to a state of futility and despair, which holds promise of dangers.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Courage is not the absence of despair; it is, rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Social acceptance, 'being liked,' has so much power because it holds the feelings of loneliness at bay.

A myth is a way of making sense in a senseless world. Myths are narrative patterns that give significance to our existence.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Memory depends mainly upon myth. Some even occurs in our minds, in actuality or in fantasy; we form it in memory, molding it like clay day after day - and soon we have made out of that event a myth. We then keep the myth in memory as a guide to future similar situations.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Every being has the need not ...

Every being has the need not only to be but to affirm his own being. This is especially significant for the human organism, for it is gifted with, or condemned to, self-consciousness.

Rollo May 220 quotes

It is an obvious fact that when an age is torn loose from its moorings and everyone is to some degree thrown on his own, most people can take steps to find and realize themselves.

Rollo May 220 quotes

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

Rollo May 220 quotes

Freedom is man's capacity to ...

Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves.

Rollo May 220 quotes

If you do not express your ow...

If you do not express your own original ideas, if you do not listen to your own being, you will have betrayed yourself.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Freedom always deals with 'th...

Freedom always deals with 'the possible'; this gives freedom its great flexibility, its fascination, and its dangers.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Freedom is the possibility of...

Freedom is the possibility of development, of enhancement of one's life - or the possibility of withdrawing, shutting oneself up, denying and stultifying one's growth.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Care is a state in which some...

Care is a state in which something does matter; it is the source of human tenderness.

Rollo May 220 quotes

The relationship between comm...

The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it's not without doubt but in spite of doubt.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Political freedom is to be ch...

Political freedom is to be cherished indeed. But there is no political freedom that is not indissolubly bound to the inner personal freedom of the individuals who make up that nation: no liberty of a nation of conformists, no free nation made up of robots.

Rollo May 220 quotes

It requires greater courage t...

It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom, to move on in one's inward journey into new realms, than to stand defiantly for outer freedom. It is often easier to play the martyr, as it is to be rash in battle.

Rollo May 220 quotes

Human dignity is based upon f...

Human dignity is based upon freedom, and freedom upon human dignity. The one presupposes the other.
