Erich Fromm
  • 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.

  • Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age?

  • Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.

  • Only the person who has faith in himself is able to be faithful to others.

  • There can be no real freedom without the freedom to fail.
