Maria Ruiz Scaperlanda > Quotes

“Angry outbursts became all but non-existent; early in life I arrived at such a degree of self-mastery that I could preserve my equanimity almost without a struggle. I do not know how that happened; I do believe what cured me was the distaste and shame I experienced at the angry outbursts of others and the acute realization I had that the price of such self-indulgence was the loss of one’s dignity” (ibid., 75).”
― Maria Ruiz Scaperlanda, Edith Stein: The Life and Legacy of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
