“Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision.”
― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving

“تريدني أن أتزوج لأنجب مجموعة من الممرضين والممرضات لسنوات الشيخوخة.”

“You do many things at once; you read, listen to the radio, talk, smoke, eat, drink. You are the consumer with the open mouth, eager and ready to swallow everything—pictures, liquor, knowledge. This lack of concentration is clearly shown in our difficulty in being alone with ourselves. To sit still, without talking, smoking, reading, drinking, is impossible for most people. They become nervous and fidgety, and must do something with their mouth or their hands.”
― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving

“Nature is cruel but we don't have to be”
― Temple Grandin, The Way I See It: A Personal Look at Autism & Asperger's
