Erich Fromm: On Conformity

"Most people are not even aware of their need to conform. They live under the illusion that they follow their own ideas and inclinations that they are individualists, that they have arrived at their opinions as the result of their own thinking--and that it just happens that their ideas are the same as those of the majority."

Fromm, Erich. The Art of Loving (New York: Harper Colophon, 1962)
