I love discovering new, brilliant minds who have long existed and inspired those who inspire me. Recently I discovered Erich Fromm. Here are just a couple of magnificent quotes of his: *Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence. *Selfish persons are incapable of loving others, but they are not capable of loving themselves either. *The most beautiful as well as the most ugly inclinations of man are not part of a fixed biologically given human nature, but result from the social process which creates man. *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. *Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies. For those that knew of this brilliant man, well deal with your withholding his brilliance from me at another time. I kid. Seriously though, share what inspires you with me! 1
