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
Loneliness is a barrier that prevents one from uniting with the inner self.
Carl Rogers
Image
It is a direction not a destination.
Carl Rogers

No other person's ideas, and none of my own ideas, are as authoritative as my experience.
Carl Rogers
Image
Powerful is our need to be known, really known by ourselves and others, even if only for a moment.
Carl Rogers
Image
There are as many real worlds as there are people!
Carl Rogers

Don't be the ammunition wagon, be the rifle... knowledge exists primarily for use.
Carl Rogers
Image
The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
Carl Rogers

Carl Rogers
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If I were to search for the central core of difficulty in people as I have come to know them, it is that in the great majority of cases they despise themselves, regarding themselves as worthless and unlovable.
Carl Rogers
Image
There is in every organism, at whatever level, an underlying flow of movement toward constructive fulfillment of its inherent possibilities.
Carl Rogers
Image
It is astonishing how elements that seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens.
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
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
Image
Man's inability to communicate is a result of his failure to listen effectively.
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

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.
