Famous quotes containing the words mature and/or practice:

    Immature love says: “I love you because I need you.” Mature love says: “I need you because I love you.”
    Erich Fromm (1900–1980)

    Predatory capitalism created a complex industrial system and an advanced technology; it permitted a considerable extension of democratic practice and fostered certain liberal values, but within limits that are now being pressed and must be overcome. It is not a fit system for the mid- twentieth century.
    Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
