This Third Psychology is now one facet of a new philosophy of life, a new conception of man, the beginning of a new century of work.

Good psychology should include all the methodological techniques, without having loyalty to one method, one idea, or one person.

The science of psychology has been far more successful on the negative than on the positive side... It has revealed to us much about man's shortcomings, his illnesses, his sins, but little about his potentialities, his virtues, his achievable aspirations, or his psychological health.

Man is ultimately not molded or shaped into humanness. The environment does not give him potentialities and capacities; he has them in inchoate or embryonic form, just exactly as he has embryonic arms and legs. And creativeness, spontaneity, selfhood

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

Rioting is a childish way of trying to be a man, but it takes time to rise out of the hell of hatred and frustration and accept that to be a man you don't have to riot.
