On Personal Power: Inner Strength and Its Revolutionary Impact QUOTES

1 " If awareness and conscious thought are seen as a part of life - not its master nor its opponent but an illumination of the developing process within the individual - then our total life can be the unified and unifying experience that is characteristic in nature. "

― Carl R. Rogers , On Personal Power: Inner Strength and Its Revolutionary Impact

2 " Change threatens, and its possibility creates frightened, angry people. They are found in their purest essence on the extreme right, but in all of us there is some fear of process, of change. "

― Carl R. Rogers , On Personal Power: Inner Strength and Its Revolutionary Impact

3 " Just when it seems too late, the great social collective mind grasps the seriousness of a problem and begins to move dramatically ahead. Because the collective decision is so late, the outcome is always in doubt—the world may still be drowned by overpopulation, we may still die of pollution, we may still see violent racial strife—but at least we are making massive efforts to deal with those issues. It is this knowledge of the past that gives me courage to propose methods for dealing with intercultural, interracial, and international tensions. I believe that if the public becomes truly aware that present-day policies are targeted directly toward the destruction of all of us, then they may decide to look for alternatives. And the person-centered approach offers just such an alternative. "
