"Today we come across an individual who behaves like an automaton, who does not
know or understand himself, and the only person that he knows is the person that he
is supposed to be, whose meaningless chatter is replaced by communicative speech,
whose synthetic smile has replaced genuine laughter, and whose sense of dull despair
has taken the place of genuine pain. Two statements may be said concerning this
individual. One is that he suffers from defects of spontaneity and individuality which may
seem to be incurable. At the same time it may be said of him that he does not differ
essentially from the millions of the rest of us who walk upon this earth."
-Erich Fromm
"If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; If he betrays you twice, it is

"Do not fear your enemies. The worst they can do is kill you. Do not
fear friends. At worst, they may betray you. Fear those who do not
care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exists
because of their silent consent."

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the
affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false
friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit
better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even
one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Consider a man riding a bicycle. Whoever he is, we can say three things about
him. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will
stop and get off. Most important of all, we know that if at any point between the beginning
and the end of his journey he stops moving and does not get off the bicycle he will fall off
it. That is a metaphor for the journey through life of any living thing, and I think of
any society of living things."
-Unknown
