Ernest Becker Quotes

In Man A Working Level Of Narcissism Is Inseparable From Self-esteem, From A Basic Sense Of Self-worth. We Have Learned, Mostly From Alfred Adler, That What Man Needs Most Is To Feel Secure In His Self-esteem. But Man Is Not Just A Blind Glob Of Idling Protoplasm, But A Creature With A Name Who Lives In A World Of Symbols, On An Abstract Idea Of His Own Worth, An Idea Composed Of Sounds, Words, And Images, In The Air, In The Mind, On Paper. And This Means That Man's Natural Yearning For Organismic Activity, The Pleasures Of Incorporation And Expansion, Can Be Fed Limitlessly In The Domain Of Symbols And So Into Immortality. The Single Organism Can Expand Into Dimensions Of Worlds And Times Without Moving A Physical Limb; It Can Take Eternity Into Itself Even As It Gaspingly Dies.
