"The person who can create herself—choose herself—is the one who can overcome the feeling of nothingness and hopelessness that breeds indifference and lack of concern. Once she becomes visible to herself, she may find her vision clearing, she may find that she is transcending herself. She may find self-commitment possible —the commitment to orchestrate herself with the selves of others with whom she can empathize as a fellow-creature confronting the same crucial human problems, moving to the same beat."
