The apparent world, the one which is perceived, with its figures, its brightness, its colors, is a psychical product, a creation of the observer.

Man unites himself with the world in the process of creation. ~Erich Fromm
#quotes #erich-fromm #world #creation

Gold has not the fragrance of a flower. So different persons have various modes of excellence, and we must have an eye to all. ~William Wilberforce
