Erich Fromm
Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.
Erich Fromm
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
To love somebody is not just a strong feeling - it is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise.
Erich Fromm
Greedhas no satiation point, since its consummation does not fill the inner emptiness, boredom, loneliness, and depression it is meant to overcome.
Erich Fromm
The experience of separateness arouses anxiety it is, indeed, the source of all anxiety.
Erich Fromm
In the nineteenth century the problem was that God is dead. In the twentieth century the problem is that man is dead.
Erich Fromm
We live in a world of things, and our only connection with them is that we know how to manipulate or to consume them.
Erich Fromm
Education is helping the child realise his potentialities.
Erich Fromm
It is true that one has to think first and then to act - but it's also true that if one has no possibility of acting, one's thinking kind of becomes empty and stupid.
Erich Fromm
