Erich Fromm Quotes

Most People Are Convinced That As Long As They Are Not Overtly Forced To Do Something By An Outside Power, Their Decisions Are Theirs, And That If They Want Something, It Is They Who Want It. But This Is One Of The Great Illusions We Have About Ourselves. A Great Number Of Our Decisions Are Not Really Our Own But Are Suggested To Us From The Outside; We Have Succeeded In Persuading Ourselves That It Is We Who Have Made The Decision, Whereas We Have Actually Conformed With Expectations Of Others, Driven By The Fear Of Isolation And By More Direct Threats To Our Life, Freedom, And Comfort.
