Human beings seem to be far more autonomous and self-governed than modern psychological theory allows for.
Motivation and Personality (1954), p. 123
The study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy. The study of self-actualizing people must be the basis for a more universal science of psychology.
Motivation and Personality (1954), p. 234

As quoted in How the Best Leaders Lead: Proven Secrets to Getting the Most Out of Yourself and Others (2010) by Brian Tracy, p. 35
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be. This need we may call self-actualization. This term, first coined by Kurt Goldstein, is being used in this paper in a much more specific and limited fashion. It refers to the desire for self-fulfillment, namely, to the tendency for him to become actualized in what he is potentially. This tendency might be phrased as the desire to become more and more what one is, to become everything that one is capable of becoming.
Motivation and Personality (1954), p. 103
