Erich Fromm Quotes

«Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself»
«Modern man lives under the illusion that he knows what he wants, while he actually wants what he is supposed to want»
«One cannot be deeply responsive to the world without being saddened very often.»
«Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be...Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before.»
«Integrity simple means not violating one's own identity.»
«Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. ''Patriotism'' is its cult. It should hardly be necessary to say, that by ''patriotism'' I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice; not the loving interest in one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's spiritual as much as with its material welfare /never with its power over other nations. Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.»
«The kind of relatedness to the world may be noble or trivial, but even being related to the basest kind of pattern is immensely preferable to being alone.»
«In the 19th century inhumanity meant cruelty; in the 20th century it means schizoid self-alienation.»
«The history of man is a graveyard of great cultures that came to catastrophic ends because of their incapacity for planned, rational, voluntary reaction to challenge.»
«The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers.»
