I Prize The Privilege Of Being Alone.

No Other Person's Ideas, And None Of My Own Ideas, Are As Authoritative As My Experience.

Life, At Its Best, Is A Flowing, Changing Process In Which Nothing Is Fixed.

A Second Characteristic Of The Process Which For Me Is The Good Life, Is That It Involves An Increasingly Tendency To Live Fully In Each Moment. I Believe It Would Be Evident That For The Person Who Was Fully Open To His New Experience, Completely Without Defensiveness, Each Moment Would Be New.

To Perceive The Internal Frame Of Reference Of Another With Accuracy And With The Emotional Components And Meanings Which Pertain Thereto As If One Were The Person, But Without Ever Losing The "as If" Condition. Thus, It Means To Sense The Hurt Or The Pleasure Of Another As He Senses It And To Perceive The Causes Thereof As He Perceives Them, But Without Ever Losing The Recognition That It Is As If I Were Hurt Or Pleased And So Forth.

I Have Come To Think That One Of The Most Satisfying Experiences I Know — And Also One Of The Most Growth-promoting Experiences For The Other Person — Is Just Fully To Appreciate This Individual In The Same Way That I Appreciate A Sunset.
