Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.

Erich Fromm

Giving is more joyous than receiving, not because it is a deprivation, but because in the act of giving lies the expression of my aliveness.

Erich Fromm

Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.

Erich Fromm

Happiness is a man’s greatest achievement; it is the response of his total personality to a productive orientation toward himself and the world outside.

Erich Fromm

If an individual is able to love productively, he loves himself, too; if he can love only others, he cannot love at all.

Erich Fromm

If I am what I have and if I lose what I have who then am I?
