Quotes by Erich Fromm
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. The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind - not the fiend or the sadist. Only the person who has faith in himself is able to be faithful to others. Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves. If we do not understand the language in which they are written, we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world. If I am what I have and if I lose what I have who then am I? The psychic task which a person can and must set for himself is not to feel secure, but to be able to tolerate insecurity. The task we must set for ourselves is not to feel secure, but to be able to tolerate insecurity. Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction. In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two. The only truly affluent are those who do not want more than they have.
