More From Erich Fromm

If i were a factory employee, a workman on the railroads or a wage-earner of any sort, i would undoubtedly join the union of my trade. if i disapproved of its policy, i would join in order to fight that policy; if the union leaders were dishonest, i would join in order to put them out. i believe in the union and i believe that all men who are benefited by the union are morally bound to help to the extent of their power in the common interests advanced by the union.

So she had to satisfy herself with the idea of love - loving the loving of things whose existence she didn't care at all about. love itself became the object of her love. she loved herself in love, she loved loving love, as love loves loving, and was able, in that way, to reconcile herself with a world that fell so short of what she would have hoped for. it was not the world that was the great and saving lie, but her willingness to make it beautiful and fair, to live a once-removed life, in a world once-removed from the one in which everyone else seemed to exist.

Love of learning will never let you down. you can have a quest for money, you can have a quest for power, you can have a quest for fame and they are sometimes gratifying and sometimes self-destructive. the love of learning is always gratifying and never self-destructive. the more educated, the more cultivated a society becomes, better off is everybody.

I believe that love is the main key to open the doors to the "growth" of man. love and union with someone or something outside of oneself, union that allows one to put oneself into relationship with others, to feel one with others, without limiting the sense of integrity and independence. love is a productive orientation for which it is essential that there be present at the same time: concern, responsibility, and respect for and knowledge of the object of the union.
Life Integrity Believe
Genuine love is volitional rather than emotional. the person who truely loves does so because of a decision to love. this person has made a commitment to be loving whether or not the loving feeling is present. ...conversely, it is not only possible but necessary for a loving person to avoid acting on feelings of love.
