Famous quotes containing the words condition and/or dependent:
“Our own peculiar human condition is that we are as fit to be laughed at as able to laugh.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The sadistic person is as dependent on the submissive person as the latter is on the former; neither can live without the other. The difference is only that the sadistic person commands, exploits, hurts, humiliates, and that the masochistic person is commanded, exploited, hurt, humiliated. This is a considerable difference in a realistic sense; in a deeper emotional sense, the difference is not so great as that which they both have in common: fusion without integrity.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
