NYC - I

“Man has
always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had
achieved so much...the wheel, New York, wars and so on...while all the dolphins
had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely,
the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than
man...for precisely the same reason.”
~Douglas Adams
“I went to see
a band in New York. The lead singer got on the microphone, and he said How many
of you people feel like human beings tonight? Then he said How many of you feel
like animals? And everyone cheered after the animals part. But the thing is, I
cheered after the human being part because I did not know that there was a
second part to the question.”
~Mitch Hedberg

(Sculptures by Jose Luis Cuevas)
The first thing we have to learn is that love is an art, just as living is an art; if we want to learn how to love we must proceed in the same way we have to proceed if we want to learn any other art. Maybe here lies the answer to the question of why people in our culture try so rarely to learn this art, in spite of their obvious failures: in spite of the deep-seated craving for love, almost everything else is considered to be more important than love: success, prestige, money, power - almost all our energy is used for learning of how to achieve these aims, and almost none to learn the art of loving.
Extracts from - The Art of Loving - By Erich Fromm.
