Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age?
More Quotes from Erich Fromm:
The right to express our thoughts means something only if we are able to have thoughts of our own.Erich Fromm
There is perhaps no phenomenon which contains so much destructive feeling as moral indignation, which permits envy or to be acted out under the guise of virtue.
Erich Fromm
Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. ''Patriotism'' is its cult. It should hardly be necessary to say, that by ''patriotism'' I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice not the loving interest in one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's spiritual as much as with its material welfare --never with its power over other nations. Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.
Erich Fromm
Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.
Erich Fromm
The duty to be alive is the same as the duty to become oneself, to develop into an individual one potentially is.
Erich Fromm
