― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving

“The experience of separateness arouses anxiety; it is, indeed, the source of all anxiety. Being separate means being cut off, without any capacity to use my human powers.

― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving

“The deepest need of man, then, is the need to overcome his separateness, to leave the prison of his aloneness.”
― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving

“Either I am to live in this world on my terms or I will die out of it.”
― Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon
