within you, without you

photo used: cigar box factory 1909, tampa florida

As long as anyone believes that his

ideal purpose is outside him,

that it is above the clouds,

in the past or in the future,

he will go outside himself and seek

fulfillment where it cannot be found.

He will look for solutions and answers

at every point except

where they can be found,

in himself.

Erich Fromm
