Rollo May

Quotes

• “Anxiety is an even better teacher than reality, for one can temporarily evade reality by avoiding the distasteful situation; but anxiety is a source of education always present because one carries it within.”

• “Hate is not the opposite of love; apathy is.”

• “Freedom is man’s capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves.”

• “There is no meaningful “yes” unless the individual could also have said “no.””

• “Now it is no longer a matter of deciding what to do, but of deciding how to decide.”
