Splitting self-actualization





Human beings cannot be reduced to components.
Human beings have in them a uniquely human context.
Human consciousness includes an awareness of oneself in the context of other people.
Human beings have choices and non desired responsibilities.
Human beings are intentional, they seek meaning, value and creativity.
  • The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.
  • Victory depends on whether or not a duelist has the courage to fight until the bitter end.
  • What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.
  • If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.
  • The way to recover the meaning of life and the worthwhileness of life is to recover the power of experience, to have impulse voices from within, and to be able to hear these impulse voices from within-and make the point: This can be done.
  • The good society is one in which virtue pays.
  • What shall we think of a well-adjusted slave?
  • Laugh at what you hold sacred, and still hold it sacred.

Abraham Maslow
