More From Erich Fromm

I'll not meddle with it; it is a dangerous thing; it makes a man a coward; a man cannot steal, but it accuseth him; a man cannot swear, but it checks him; a man cannot lie with his neighbor's wife, but it detects him. 'tis a blushing, shame -faced spirit, that mutinies in a man's bosom ; it fills one full of obstacles; it made me once restore a purse of gold that by chance i found; it beggars any man that keeps it; it is turned out of all towns and cities for a dangerous thing; and every man that means to live well endeavors to trust to himself and live without it.

Man's destructive hand spares nothing that lives; he kills to feed himself, he kills to clothe himself, he kills to adorn himself, he kills to attack, he kills to defend himself, he kills to instruct himself, he kills to amuse himself, he kills for the sake of killing.
Life Death Art
The creation speaks a universal language, independent of human speech or human language, multiplied and various as they be. it is an ever-existing original, which every man can read. it cannot be forged; it cannot be counterfeited; it cannot be lost; it cannot be altered; it cannot be suppressed. it does not depend upon the will of man whether it shall be published or not; it publishes itself from one end of the earth to the other. it preaches to all nations and to all worlds; and this word of god reveals to man all that is necessary for man to know of god.
Independent Men Doe
I know that in many things i am not like others, but i do not know what i really am like. man cannot compare himself with any other creature; he is not a monkey, not a cow, not a tree. i am a man. but what is it to be that? like every other being, i am a splinter of the infinite deity, but i cannot contrast myself with any animal, any plant or any stone. only a mythical being has a range greater than man's. how then can man form any definite opinions about himself?.

If a person is cold and rigid, he feels within himself as if he were in a grave. he is not living, he cannot enjoy this life for he cannot express himself and he cannot see the light and life outside. what keeps man from developing the heart quality? his exacting attitude. he wants to make a business of love. he says, 'if you will love me, i will love you.' as soon as a man measures and weighs his favors and his services and all that he does for one whom he loves, he ceases to know what love is. love sees the beloved and nothing else.
Attitude Love You Heart
By a lie a man throws away and, as it were, annihilates his dignity as a man. a man who himself does not believe what he tells another ... has even less worth than if he were a mere thing. ... makes himself a mere deceptive appearance of man, not man himself.

Similar Quotes
Intuition is just the sum of all your experience. the way i see it, everything you’ve experienced, everything you know, you think you know and didn’t know you knew is there in your subconscious lying dormant, as it were. as a rule you don’t notice the sleeping creature, it’s just there, snoring and absorbing new things, right. but now and then it blinks, stretches and tells you, hey, i’ve seen this picture before. and tells you where in the picture things belong.

Everything about the left is perception, manipulation, and lies. everything. everything is 'wag the dog.' everything is a structured deception.

On the other hand, although i have a regular work schedule, i take time to go for long walks on the beach so that i can listen to what is going on inside my head. if my work isn't going well, i lie down in the middle of a workday and gaze at the ceiling while i listen and visualize what goes on in my imagination.

The depth lies in the valleys where we seek her, and not upon the mountain-tops where she is found.
