Erich Fromm Quotes:
Ocupation: Psychologist
Life: March 23, 1900 - March 18, 1980
Birthday: March 23
Death: March 18
It is naively assumed that the fact that the majority of people share certain ideas and feelings proves the validity of these ideas and feelings. Nothing could be further from the truth. Consensual validation as such has no bearing on reason or mental health.
