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

More quotes by Carl Rogers
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
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
It is astonishing how elements that seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens.
Carl Rogers
Openness to all attitudes no matter how extreme or unrealistic they may seem.
Carl Rogers
Learning of all kinds goes on best, lasts best, and tends to lead itself on more when it grows out of a real focus of interest in the learner.
Carl Rogers
Experience is the highest authority.
Carl Rogers
It's an awful risky thing to live
Carl Rogers
It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried.
Carl Rogers
I believe that the testing of the student's achievements in order to see if he meets some criterion held by the teacher, is directly contrary to the implications of therapy for significant learning.
Carl Rogers
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
You know that I don't believe that anyone has ever taught anything to anyone. I question that efficacy of teaching. The only thing that I know is that anyone who wants to learn will learn. And maybe a teacher is a facilitator, a person who puts things down and shows people how exciting and wonderful it is and asks them to eat.
Carl Rogers
Don't be the ammunition wagon, be the rifle... knowledge exists primarily for use.
Carl Rogers
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
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
I prize the privilege of being alone.
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
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.
Carl Rogers
The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
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
People only seriously consider change when they feel accepted for exactly who they are.
Carl Rogers
