Every Human Being Must Have A Point

In Order To Be Open To Creativity, One Must Have The Capacity For Constructive Use Of Solitude. One Must Overcome The Fear Of Being Alone.

Creativity Is The Encounter Of The Intensively Conscious Human Being With His World.

Dogmatism Of All Kinds--scientific, Economic, Moral, As Well As Political--are Threatened By The Creative Freedom Of The Artist. This Is Necessarily And Inevitably So. We Cannot Escape Our Anxiety Over The Fact That The Artists Together With Creative Persons Of All Sorts, Are The Possible Destroyer Of Our Nicely Ordered Systems. (p. 76)

Human Freedom Involves Our Capacity To Pause Between The Stimulus And Response And, In That Pause, To Choose The One Response Toward Which We Wish To Throw Our Weight. The Capacity To Create Ourselves, Based Upon This Freedom, Is Inseparable From Consciousness Or Self-awareness. (p. 100)

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.
