Text Quotes
The more the drive toward life is thwarted, the stronger is the drive toward destruction; the more life is realized, the less is the strength of destructiveness. Destructiveness is the outcome of unlived life (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Thus, the ultimate choice for a man, inasmuch as he is driven to transcend himself, is to create or to destroy, to love or to hate (Erich Fromm Quotes)
If faith cannot be reconciled with rational thinking, it has to be eliminated as an anachronistic remnant of earlier stages of culture and replaced by science dealing with facts and theories which are intelligible and can be validated (Erich Fromm Quotes)
The whole life of the individual is nothing but the process of giving birth to himself; indeed, we should be fully born when we die (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Let your mind start a journey through 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 (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love (Erich Fromm Quotes)
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 (Erich Fromm Quotes)
I believe that the experience of love is the most human and humanizing act that it is given to man to enjoy and that it, like reason, makes no sense if conceived in a partial way (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Productive work, love and thought are possible only if a person can be, when necessary, quiet and alone. To be able to listen to oneself is the necessary condition for relating oneself to others (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Love of others and love of ourselves are not alternatives. On the contrary, an attitude of love towards themselves will be found in all those who are capable of loving others (Erich Fromm Quotes)
What are the conditions of the creative attitude, of seeing and responding, of being aware and being sensitive to what one is aware of? First of all it requires the capacity to be puzzled. Children still have the capacity to be puzzled (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Mother’s love is bliss, is peace, it need not be acquired, it need not be deserved. If it is there, it is like a blessing; if it is not there it is as if all the beauty had gone out of life (Erich Fromm Quotes)
It takes a moment to tell someone you love them, but it takes a lifetime to prove it (Erich Fromm Quotes)
The duty to be alive is the same as the duty to become oneself, to develop into the individual one potentially is (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Like the effect of advertising upon the customer, the methods of political propaganda tend to increase the feeling of insignificance of the individual voter (Erich Fromm Quotes)
There is nothing of which we are more ashamed than of not being ourselves. And there is nothing which brings us greater joy and happiness than to think, feel, and say what is ours (Erich Fromm Quotes)
To respect a person is not possible without knowing him; care and responsibility would be blind if they were not guided by knowledge (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Independent of others and in concert with others, your main task in life is to do what you can best do and become what you can potentially be (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Can freedom become a burden, too heavy for man to bear, something he tries to escape from?.. Is there not also, perhaps, besides an innate desire for freedom, an instinctive wish for submission? (Erich Fromm Quotes)
I love in you everybody, I love through you the world, I love in you also myself (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Today the function of psychiatry, psychology and psychoanalysis threatens to become the tool in the manipulation of man (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Care and responsibility are constituent elements of love, but without respect for and knowledge of the beloved person, love deteriorates into domination and possessiveness (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Most people see the problem of love primarily as that of being loved, rather than that of loving, of one’s capacity to love. Hence the problem to them is how to be loved, how to be lovable (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Ideas become powerful only if they appear in the flesh; an idea which does not lead to action by the individual and by groups remains at best a paragraph or a footnote in a book (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Once they are through the process of education, most people lose the capacity of wondering, of being surprised. They feel they ought to know everything, and hence that it is a sign of ignorance to be surprised or puzzled by anything (Erich Fromm Quotes)
Love is the active concern for the life and the growth of that which we love (Erich Fromm Quotes)
A vast sector of modern advertising... does not appeal to reason but to emotion; like any other kind of hypnoid suggestion, it tries to impress its objects emotionally and then make them submit intellectually (Erich Fromm Quotes)
If I am attached to another person because I cannot stand on my own two feet, he or she may be a life saver, but the relationship is not one of love (Erich Fromm Quotes)
To take the difficulties, setbacks and sorrows of life as a challenge to overcome makes us stronger, rather than unjust punishment which should not happen to us, requires faith and courage (Erich Fromm Quotes)
