It isn't normal to know what we want. It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement. - Abraham Maslow

creativeness comes partly out of the unconscious, i.e., is a healthy regression, a temporary turning away from the real world.

The person who hasn't conquered, withstood and overcome continues to feel doubtful that he could. This is true not only for external dangers; it holds also for the ability to control and to delay one's own impulses, and therefore to be unafraid of them.

In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.
