To be sure, power over people is an expression of superior strength in a purely material sense. If I have the power over another person to kill him, I am 'stronger' than he is. But in a psychological sense, the lust for power is not rooted in strength but in weakness. It is the expression of inability of the individual self to stand alone and live. It is the desperate attempt to gain secondary strength where genuine strength is lacking. —Erich Fromm #philosophy #psychology #quotes

Surely it is plain to the simplest intelligence that To Kill a Mockingbird spells out in words of seldom more than two syllables a code of honor and conduct, Christian in its ethic, that is the heritage of all Southerners. To hear that the novel is "immoral" has made me count the years between now and 1984, for I have yet to come across a better example of doublethink. —Harper Lee #philosophy #author #writer #PulitzerPrize #quotes
