Erich Fromm

I have been deeply influenced by his writings on love (as interpersonal creativity), authenticity, and freedom.

1. Love intentionally; Love is your decision because if love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. 2. Become authentic to become more human; the ability to act spontaneously and to express what one genuinely feels and thinks is at the root of confidence and strength. 3. Don't apologize to the haters for being yourself; you owe nobody an explanation as long as your acts do not hurt or infringe on them.
