"Realisation is not acquisition of anything new nor is it a new faculty. It is only removal of all camouflage"

Previous Quote

A society whose principles are acquisition, profit, and property produces a social character oriented around having, and once the dominant pattern is established, nobody wants to be an outsider, or indeed an outcast; in order to avoid this risk everybody adapts to the majority, who have in common only their mutual antagonism.

— Erich Fromm
