More quotes by Carl Rogers
Most of us consist of two separated parts, trying desperately to bring themselves together into an integrated soma, where the distinctions between mind and body, feelings and intellect, would be obliterated.
Carl Rogers
The facts are always friendly, every bit of evidence one can acquire, in any area, leads one that much closer to what is true.
Carl Rogers
The elements in a relationship which seem impossible to share, the secretly disturbing, dissatisfying elements, are the most rewarding to share. This is a hard, risky, frightening thing to learn, and it needs to be re-learned over and over.
Carl Rogers
There is in every organism, at whatever level, an underlying flow of movement toward constructive fulfillment of its inherent possibilities.
Carl Rogers
Though modern Marriage is a tremendous laboratory, its members are often without preparation for the partnership function. How much agony and remorse and failure could have been avoided if there had been at least some rudimentary learning before they entered the partnership.
Carl Rogers
The education situation which most effectively promotes significant learning is one in which (1) threat to the self of the learner is reduced to a minimum and (2) differential perception of the field of experience is facilitated
Carl Rogers
Empathy is a special way of coming to know another and ourself, a kind of attuning and understanding. When empathy is extended, it satisfies our needs and wish for intimacy, it rescues us from our feelings of aloneness.
Carl Rogers
We cannot change, we cannot move away from what we are, until we thoroughly accept what we are. Then change seems to come about almost unnoticed.
Carl Rogers
If we value independence, if we are disturbed by the growing conformity of knowledge, of values, of attitudes, which our present system induces, then we may wish to set up conditions of learning which make for uniqueness, for self-direction, and for self-initiated learning.
Carl Rogers
Allowance of the freedom of choices in direction, either for the group or individuals particularly in the near future.
Carl Rogers
No other person's ideas, and none of my own ideas, are as authoritative as my experience.
Carl Rogers
Powerful is our need to be known, really known by ourselves and others, even if only for a moment.
Carl Rogers
There are as many real worlds as there are people!
Carl Rogers
The paradigm of Western culture is that the essence of persons is dangerous thus, they must be taught, guided, and controlled by those with superior authority.
Carl Rogers
I prize the privilege of being alone.
Carl Rogers
Don't be the ammunition wagon, be the rifle... knowledge exists primarily for use.
Carl Rogers
The action of the child inventing a new game with his playmates Einstein formulating a theory of relativity the housewife devising a new sauce for the meat, a young author writing his first novel all of these are in terms of definition, Creative, and there is no attempt to set them in some order of more or less Creative.
Carl Rogers
True empathy is always free of any evaluative or diagnostic quality. This comes across to the recipient with some surprise. If I am not being judged, perhaps I am not so evil or abnormal as I have thought.
Carl Rogers
We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.
Carl Rogers
Experience is the highest authority.
Carl Rogers
