More quotes by Abraham Maslow
Become aware of internal, subjective, sub-verbal experiences, so that these experiences can be brought into the world of abstraction.
Abraham Maslow
You will either step forward into growth or you will step back into safety.
Abraham Maslow
What kind of guilt comes from being true to yourself but not to others?. As we have seen, being true to yourself may at times intrinsically and necessarily be in conflict with being true to others.
Abraham Maslow
One cannot choose wisely for a life unless he dares to listen to himself, his own self, at each moment of his life.
Abraham Maslow
Man is a perpetually wanting animal.
Abraham Maslow
We cannot study creativeness in an ultimate sense until we realize that practically all the definitions that we have been using of creativeness are essentially male or masculine definitions of male or masculine products. We've left out of consideration almost entirely the creativeness of women.
Abraham Maslow
In a word, to perceive an object abstractly means not to perceive some aspects of it. It clearly implies selection of some attributes, rejection of other attributes, creation or distortion of still others. We make of it what we wish. We create it.
Abraham Maslow
Human beings seem to be far more autonomous and self-governed than modern psychological theory allows for.
Abraham Maslow
Common sense means living in the world as it is today but creative people are people who don't want the world as it is today but want to make another world.
Abraham Maslow
When people appear to be something other than good and decent, it is only because they are reacting to stress, pain, or the deprivation of basic human needs such as security, love, and self-esteem.
Abraham Maslow
The most stable, and therefore, the most healthy self-esteem is based on deserved respect from others rather than on external fame or celebrity and unwarranted adulation.
Abraham Maslow
If the essential core of the person is denied or suppressed, he gets sick sometimes in obvious ways, sometimes in subtle ways, sometimes immediately, sometimes later.
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
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
[Concerning] the usual contempt with which an orthodox analytic group treats all outsiders and strangers ... I urge you to think of the young psychoanalysts as your colleagues, collaborators and partners and not as spies, traitors and wayward children. You can never develop a science that way, only an orthodox church.
Abraham Maslow
Man has his future within him, dynamically alive at this present moment.
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
...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
Boys will be boys as long as there are no girls in the picture.
Abraham Maslow
Secrecy, censorship, dishonesty, and blocking of communication threaten all the basic needs.
