Falling In Love Lying Being In Love

More From Erich Fromm

Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. error is neither mind nor one of mind's faculties. error is the contradiction of truth. error is a belief without understanding. error is unreal because untrue. it is that which stemma to be and is not. if error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity -namely, erroneous truth. thus we should continue to lose the standard of truth.

The leaves are falling, falling as from way off, as though far gardens withered in the skies; they are falling with denying gestures. and in the nights the heavy earth is falling from all the stars down into loneliness. we all are falling. this hand falls. and look at others: it is in them all. and yet there is one who holds this falling endlessly gently in his hands.

The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth - that error and truth are simply opposite. they are nothing of the sort. what the world turns to, when it has been cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.

There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.

1960, i was 20 years old, and i was leading the u.s. open. now, i wasn't leading by several strokes, but i was leading the u.s. open and playing with ben hogan, had a very good chance to win, nine holes to go, i was leading. i was still leading with six holes to play.

The leaves are falling, falling as if from far up,as if orchards were dying high in space.each leaf falls as if it were motioning "no."and tonight the heavy earth is fallingaway from all other stars in the loneliness.we're all falling. this hand here is falling.and look at the other one. it's in them all.and yet there is someone, whose handsinfinitely calm, holding up all this falling.

Yet in this my stars were not mercury as morning star in the angle of the seventh house, in quartile with mars, but they were copernicus, they were tycho brahe, without whose books of observations everything which has now been brought by me into the brightest daylight would lie buried in darkness.

For though i am a body of this earth, my firm desire is born from the stars.

And i know these scars will bleed, but both of our hearts believe all of these stars will guide us home

And at night i love to listen to the stars. it is like five hundred million little bells.
