More From Erich Fromm

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to talk, think and act for myself — and i will obey every law or submit to the penalty.

A free culture supports and protects creators and innovators. it does this directly by granting intellectual property rights. but it does so indirectly by limiting the reach of those rights, to guarantee that follow-on creators and innovators remain as free as possible from the control of the past. a free culture is not a culture without property, just as a free market is not a market in which everything is free. the opposite of a free culture is a "permission culture" -- a culture in which creators get to create only with the permission of the powerful, or of creators from the past.
Powerful Past Rights
Everyone talks about freedom. all around the world different people, different races, different countries are fighting for freedom. but what is freedom? in america we speak of living in a free country. but are we really free? are we free to be who we really are? the answer is no, we are not free. true freedom has to do with the human spirit-it is freedom to be who we really are. who stops us from being free? we blame the government, we blame the weather, we blame our parents, we blame religion, we blame god. who really stops us from being free? we stop ourselves.
Country Freedom Fighting
He was free, free in every way, free to behave like a fool or a machine, free to accept, free to refuse, free to equivocate; to marry, to give up the game, to drag this death weight about with him for years to come. he could do what he liked, no one had the right to advise him, there would be for him no good or evil unless he thought them into being.
Giving Up Years Games
There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry... there is no place for dogma in science. the scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors. our political life is also predicated on openness. we know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it and that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. and we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress.
