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.
From Rollo May
Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.
If you do not express your own original ideas, if you do not listen to your own being, you will have betrayed yourself.
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.
Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaneity of our youth and childhood; it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being, which is a passion to live beyond one's death.
One does not become fully human painlessly.
