“The great bulk of our anxiety comes when some value we hold essential to our existence as selves is threatened”
― Rollo May, Man's Search for Himself

“Most people now, therefore, are able to find good external “reasons” for their belief that as selves they are insignificant and powerless. For how can one act, they well ask, in the face of the giant economic, political and social movements of the time?”
― Rollo May, Man's Search for Himself

“Since the dominant values for most people in our society are being liked, accepted and approved of, much anxiety in our day comes from the threat of not being liked, being isolated, lonely or cast off.”
― Rollo May, Man's Search for Himself

“To “be yourself” was then an excuse for relaxing into the lowest common denominator of inclination.”
― Rollo May, Man's Search for Himself
