Rogers

One of the most satisfying experiences I know - is just fully to appreciate an individual in the same way that I appreciate a sunset. When I look at a sunset...I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a little on the right hand corner, and put a bit more purple along the base, and use a little more pink in the cloud color...." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch it with awe as it unfolds. (Carl Rogers, quoted in "Counseling Children," 6th ed., by Charles L. Thompson, Linda B. Rudolph, and Donna Henderson, p. 160)
