More quotes by Abraham Maslow
Since my mother is the type that's called schizophrenogenic in the literature-she's the one who makes crazy people, crazy children-I was awfully curious to find out why I didn't go insane.
Abraham Maslow
Musicians must make music, artists must paint, poets must write if they are to be ultimately at peace with themselves. What human beings can be, they must be. They must be true to their own nature. This need we may call self-actualization.
Abraham Maslow
Self-actualized people...live more in the real world of nature than in the man-made mass of concepts, abstractions, expectations, beliefs and stereotypes that most people confuse with the world.
Abraham Maslow
To the man who only has a hammer, everything he encounters begins to look like a nail.
Abraham Maslow
The spiritual life is part of the human essence. It is a defining characteristic of human nature, without which human nature is not fully human.
Abraham Maslow
I was awfully curious to find out why I didn't go insane.
Abraham Maslow
In order for us to become truly happy, that which we can become, we must become.
Abraham Maslow
One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again fear must be overcome again and again.
Abraham Maslow
Only the flexibly creative person can really manage the future, Only the one who can face novelty with confidence and without fear.
Abraham Maslow
...the great lesson is that the sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's backyard.
Abraham Maslow
A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting.
Abraham Maslow
The only happy people I know are the ones who are working well at something they consider important.
Abraham Maslow
The human being needs a framework of values, a philosophy of life, a religion or religion-surrogate to live by and understand by, in about the same sense that he needs sunlight, calcium or love.
Abraham Maslow
Every person is, in part, 'his own project' and makes himself.
Abraham Maslow
Apparently one impression we are making... is that creativeness consists of lightning striking you on the head in one great glorious moment.
Abraham Maslow
We do what we are and we are what we do.
Abraham Maslow
The fact that people who create are good workers tends to be lost.
Abraham Maslow
Plateau experiencing can be achieved, learned, earned by long hard work.... A transient glimpse is certainly possible in the peak experiences which may, after all, come sometimes to anyone. But, so to speak, to take up residence on the high plateau .... that is another matter altogether. That tends to be a lifelong effort.
Abraham Maslow
The loss of illusions and the discovery of identity, though painful at first, can be ultimately exhilarating and strengthening.
Abraham Maslow
The human being is so constructed that he pressed toward fuller and fuller being.
Abraham Maslow
