More quotes by Erich Fromm
The state of sleep is a state of freedom in which man is not occupied with the manipulation of the outside world.
Erich Fromm
In the development of both capitalism and communism, as we visualize them in the next fifty or a hundred years, the processes that encourage human alienation will continue.
Erich Fromm
I think we got off the track, as many societies do, who follow successfully one aim, and yet are not capable of seeing at what point the pursuit of this aim prevents them from following a more total aim. That is to say, they get into a blind alley.
Erich Fromm
I would say, compared with the 19th century, compared with most previous history, this is as good or better a society than any which man has ever made. But that doesn't mean it is such a good one.
Erich Fromm
We are not on the way to greater individualism, but are becoming an increasingly manipulated mass civilization.
Erich Fromm
There is no meaning to life except the meaning man gives his life by the unfolding of his powers.
Erich Fromm
For [Sigmund ] Freud, the manifest dream, that is that which we remember after waking,is like a code message, that can be interpreted, provided the right key is avail-able, for example the method of free association.
Erich Fromm
Creativity is the ability to see and to respond.
Erich Fromm
Freedom does not mean license.
Erich Fromm
Selfish persons are incapable of loving others, but they are not capable of loving themselves either.
Erich Fromm
There is only one reality: the act of feeling ourselves in the process of making choices.
Erich Fromm
Mother's love always peace as it not to be acquired nor deserved.
Erich Fromm
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
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
Sleep is often the only occasion in which man cannot silence his conscience we forget what we knew in our dream.
Erich Fromm
Man can never stand still. He must find solutions to this contradiction, and ever better solutions to the extent to which reality enables him.
Erich Fromm
You have to stop in order to change direction.
Erich Fromm
The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent.
Erich Fromm
Happiness is a very proud word of our whole cultural heritage.
Erich Fromm
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
