If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,

Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
Emily Dickinson
"If one can distinguish between two personality types [...], on the one hand: those who resent the powerful and sympathise with the oppressed, and on the other hand: those who resent the defenceless and who revere the powerful, then the authoritarian character is a clear representative of the second type."
Erich Fromm, "Studies on Authority and the Family" (1936a) Chapter 4: "The Authoritarian-Masochistic Character" found in "Analytical Social Psychology VOLUME I".
