Text Quotes
There is no meaning to life except the meaning man gives his life by the unfolding of his powers (Erich Fromm Quotes)
To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Modern man is alienated from himself, from his fellow men, and from nature. He has been transformed into a commodity, experiences his life forces as an investment which must bring him the maximum profit obtainable under existing market conditions (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Religion and nationalism, as well as any custom and any belief however absurd and degrading, if it only connects the individual with others, are refuges from what man most dreads: isolation (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Power on the one side, fear on the other, are always the buttresses on which irrational authority is built (Erich Fromm Quotes)
All genuine ideals have one thing in common: they express the desire for something which is not yet accomplished but which is desirable for the purpose of the growth and happiness of the individual (Erich Fromm Quotes)
The activity at this very moment must be the only thing that matters, to which one is fully given. If one is concentrated, it matters little what one is doing. The important, as well as the unimportant things, assume a new dimension of reality, because they have one’s full attention (Erich Fromm Quotes)
It is essential... that discipline should not be practised like a rule imposed on oneself from the outside, but that it becomes an expression of one’s own will; that it is felt as pleasant, and that one slowly accustoms oneself to a kind of behaviour which one would eventually miss, if one stopped practising it (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Love is the only way of knowledge, which in the act of union answers my quest. In the act of loving, of giving myself, in the act of penetrating the other person, I find myself, I discover myself, I discover us both, I discover man (Erich Fromm Quotes)
If an individual is able to love productively, he loves himself, too; if he can love only others, he cannot love at all (Erich Fromm Quotes)
People have committed suicide because of their failure to realize the passions for love, power, fame, revenge. Cases of suicide because of a lack of sexual satisfaction are virtually nonexistent (Erich Fromm Quotes)
On the whole, our modern ritual is impoverished and does not fulfill man’s need for collective art and ritual (Erich Fromm Quotes)
There is undoubtedly a difference between people who manipulate other people and people who create things (Erich Fromm Quotes)
There is only one reality: the act of feeling ourselves in the process of making choices (Erich Fromm Quotes)
When people can see a vision and simultaneously recognize what can be done step by step in a concrete way to achieve it, they will begin to feel encouragement and enthusiasm instead of fright (Erich Fromm Quotes)
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 (Erich Fromm Quotes)
The destruction of the world is the last, almost desperate attempt to save myself from being crushed by it (Erich Fromm Quotes)
The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Sleep is often the only occasion in which man cannot silence his conscience; we forget what we knew in our dream (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Just as love is an orientation which refers to all objects and is incompatible with the restriction to one object, so is reason a human faculty which must embrace the whole of the world with which man is confronted (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Love is often nothing but a favorable exchange between two people who get the most of what they can expect, considering their value on the personality market (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Love is union with somebody, or something, outside oneself, under the condition of retaining the separateness and integrity of one’s own self (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Most people die before they are fully born. Creativeness means to be born before one dies (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Selfish persons are incapable of loving others, but they are not capable of loving themselves either (Erich Fromm Quotes)
The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers (Erich Fromm Quotes)
There is hardly any activity, any enterprise, which is started out with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet which fails so regularly, as love (Erich Fromm Quotes)
There is perhaps no phenomenon which contains so much destructive feeling as moral indignation, which permits envy or to be acted out under the guise of virtue (Erich Fromm Quotes)
To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable (Erich Fromm Quotes)
