Shrinking away from death is something unhealthy and abnormal which robs the second half of life of its purpose.

I have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life - that is to say, over 35 - there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.

Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.

A psychoneurosis must be understood, ultimately, as the suffering of a soul which has not discovered its meaning.

In the child, consciousness rises out of the depths of unconscious psychic life, at first like separate islands, which gradually unite to form a 'continent,' a continuous landmass of consciousness. Progressive mental development means, in effect, extension of consciousness.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
