Dominant Function

Famous quotes containing the words dominant and/or function:

“In the dominant Western religious system, the love of God is essentially the same as the belief in God, in God’s existence, God’s justice, God’s love. The love of God is essentially a thought experience. In the Eastern religions and in mysticism, the love of God is an intense feeling experience of oneness, inseparably linked with the expression of this love in every act of living.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)

“To make us feel small in the right way is a function of art; men can only make us feel small in the wrong way.”
