Quote by Erich Fromm
Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves

Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves. If we do not understand the language in which they are written, we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world. – Erich Fromm
