- Why do we have to spend our lives striving to be something we would never want to be, if we only knew what we wanted? Why do we waste our time doing things which, if we only stopped to think about them, are just the opposite of what we were made for? -Thomas Merton
- I wind my experiences around myself and cover myself with pleasures and glory like bandages in order to make myself perceptible to myself and to the world, as if I were an invisible body that could only become visible when something visible covered its surface. -Thomas Merton
- False Self
- A plant that grows too quickly cannot survive harsh conditions because of its weak roots. -From Mitch Albom's Have a Little Faith
- We are a culture of human doings instead of human beings. -James Martin, SJ
