More quotes by Abraham Maslow
An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle and vanished.
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
Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.
Abraham Maslow
A child wants some kind of undisrupted routine or rhythm. He seems to want a predictable, orderly world.
Abraham Maslow
To the extent that language forces experiences into categories it is a screen between reality and the human being. In a word, we pay for its benefits... Therefore, while using language, as we must of necessity, we should be aware of its shortcomings.
Abraham Maslow
The key question isn't, 'What fosters creativity?' But it is, 'Why isn't everyone creative?'
Abraham Maslow
The theory of science which permits and encourages the exclusion of so much that is true and real and existent cannot be considered a comprehensive science.
Abraham Maslow

Abraham Maslow
I may say that B-love, in a profound but testable sense, creates the partner. It gives him a self-image, it gives him self- acceptance, a feeling of love-worthiness, all of which permit him to grow. It is a real question whether the full development of the human being is possible without it.
Abraham Maslow
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.
Abraham Maslow
No psychological health is possible unless this essential care of the person is fundamentally accepted, loved and respected by others and by himself.
Abraham Maslow
When all you own is a hammer, every problem starts looking like a nail.
Abraham Maslow
Even when adults do feel their safety to be threatened, we may not be able to see this on the surface. Infants will react in a fashion as if they were endangered, if they are disturbed or dropped suddenly, startled by loud noises, flashing light
Abraham Maslow
You must want to be first-class ...meaning the best, the very best you are capable of becoming. If you deliberately plan to be less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be deeply unhappy for the rest of your life. You will be evading your own capacities, your own possibilities.
Abraham Maslow
What shall we think of a well-adjusted slave?
Abraham Maslow
In order for us to become truly happy, that which we can become, we must become.
Abraham Maslow
People are not evil they are schlemiels.
Abraham Maslow
We are dealing with a fundamental characteristic, inherent in human nature, a potentiality given to all or most human beings at birth, which most often is lost or buried or inhibited as the person gets enculturated.
Abraham Maslow
We need not take refuge in supernatural gods to explain our saints and sages and heroes and statesmen, as if to explain our disbelief that mere unaided human beings could be that good or wise.
Abraham Maslow
Creative people are all there, totally immersed, fascinated and absorbed in the present, in the current situation, in the here-now, with the matter-in-hand.
Abraham Maslow
