More From Erich Fromm
- "Man’s main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality."
- "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."
- "Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you.’ Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you.’"
