Erich Fromm Quotes

One Is Not Loved Accidentally; One's Own Power To Love Produces Love - Just As Being Interested Makes One Interesting. People Are Concerned With The Question Of Whether They Are Attractive While They Forget That The Essence Of Attractiveness Is Their Own Capacity To Love. To Love A Person Productively Implies To Care And To Feel Responsible For His Life, Not Only For His Physical Existence But For The Growth And Development Of All His Human Powers. To Love Productively Is Incompatible With Being Passive, With Being An Onlooker At The Loved Person's Life; It Implies Labor And Care And The Responsibility For His Growth.
