Lacking positive myths to guide him, many a sensitive contemporary man finds only the model of the machine beckoning him from every side to make himself over into its image.

Rollo May, Psychology and the Human Dilemma

When people feel their insignificance as individual persons, they also suffer an undermining of their sense of human responsibility.

Besieged by others, I try to make my escape, without much success, it must be confessed. Yet I manage to wangle myself, day by day, few seconds’, with the man I would have liked to be.

Life’s no soft affair. It’s a long road you’ve started on: you can’t but expect to have slips and knocks and falls, and get tired and openly wish–a lie–for death.

Seneca, Letters from a Stoic (via stoicremains)

Care is a state in which something does matter; care is the opposite of apathy. Care is the necessary source of eros, the source of human tenderness... Life comes from physical survival; but the good life comes from what we care about.

Rollo May, Love & Will

Tenderness emerges from the fact that the two persons, longing, as all individuals do, to overcome the separateness and isolation to which we are all heir because we are individuals, can participate in a relationship that, for the moment, is not of two isolated selves but a union.

They want to be beside themselves, want to escape from their humanity. That is madness: instead of changing their Form into an angel’s they change it into a beast’s; they crash down instead of winding high.

Michel de Montaigne, Book III, Chapter 13

Thou art a god in so far as thou recognizes that thou art a man.

We have seen that the schizoid stand is necessary; now we shall inquire how, in its healthy dimensions, it can also be turned to good. The constructive schizoid person stands against the spiritual emptiness of encroaching technology and does not let himself be emptied by it. He lives and works with the machine without becoming a machine. He finds it necessary to remain detached enough to get meaning from the experience, but in doing so to protect his own inner life from impoverishment.

Rollo May, Love & Will

Problems arise where we meet our world and find it inadequate to ourselves or ourselves inadequate to it; something hurts, clashes..

I was a winged obsessive, my moonlit feathers were paper. I lived hardly at all among men and women; I spoke only to angels.
