“المزعجُ في اليأس أنّه بديهيّ ومُوَثَّق وذو أسباب وجيهة: إنه ريبورتاج. والآن أمعِنوا النظر في الأمل. تأمّلُوا سَخاءَهُ في الغشّ، رُسُوخَهُ في التدجيل، رفضَه للأحداث: إنّه تيه وخيال. وفي هذا التيه تكمن الحياة ومن هذا الخيال تتغذّى.”

“When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, "Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me”
― Carl R. Rogers

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.”
― Carl R. Rogers

“When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity, then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance… provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another.”
― Carl R. Rogers
