Image
The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
Carl Rogers
Image
If the time comes when our culture tires of the endless homicidal feuds, despairs of the use of force and war as a means of bringing peace, becomes discontent with the half-lives that its members are living - only then will our culture seriously look for alternatives.
Carl Rogers
Image
The only reality I can possibly know is the world as I perceive it at this moment. The only reality you can possibly know is the world as you see it at this moment. And the only certainty is that those perceived realities are different. There are as many “real worlds” as there are people!
Carl Rogers
Image
People only seriously consider change when they feel accepted for exactly who they are.

It's an awful risky thing to live
Carl Rogers
Image
I have learned that in any significant or continuing relationship, feelings which are persistent had best be expressed. If they are expressed as feelings owned by me, the result may be temporarily upsetting but ultimately far more rewarding than any attempt to deny or conceal them.
Carl Rogers
Image
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.

What you are to be, you are now becoming.
Carl Rogers

Carl Rogers
Image
Loneliness is a barrier that prevents one from uniting with the inner self.
Carl Rogers
Image
Am I living in a way which is deeply satisfying to me, and which truly expresses me?
Carl Rogers
Image
We can choose to use our growing knowledge to enslave people in ways never dreamed of before, depersonalizing them, controlling them by means so carefully selected that they will perhaps never be aware of their loss of personhood.
Carl Rogers
Image
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
Image
I realize that if I were stable, prudent and static I'd live in death. Therefore I accept confusion, uncertainty, fear and emotional ups and downs because that's the price I'm willing to pay for a fluid, perplexed and exciting life.
Carl Rogers
Image
Experience is, for me, the highest authority.
Carl Rogers
Image
Man's inability to communicate is a result of his failure to listen effectively.
Carl Rogers
Image
It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried.
Carl Rogers
Image
When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me.
Carl Rogers
Image
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
Image
Powerful is our need to be known, really known by ourselves and others, even if only for a moment.
Carl Rogers
