“There are more things, Lucilius, likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality.”
― Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

“Freedom is not a constant attribute which we either "have" or "have not." In fact, there is no such thing as "freedom" except as a word and an abstract concept. There is only one reality: the act of freeing ourselves in the process of making choices. In this process the degree of our capacity to make choices varies with each act, with our practice of life.”
― Erich Fromm, El corazón del hombre: Su potencia para el bien y para el mal

“Синьото стъкло ни изглежда синьо, защото е абсорбирало всички цветове в себе си и не ги пропуска повече. Това ще рече, че наричаме стъклото синьо точно защото не съдържа синьото в себе си. Названието не идва от това, което то притежава, а от това, което отдава.”
― Ерих Фром

“With subtle and finely-wrought temperaments it is always so. Their strong passions must either bruise or bend. They either slay the man, or themselves die. Shallow sorrows and shallow loves live on. The loves and the sorrows that are great are destroyed by their own plenitude. ”
― Oscar Wilde
