Thomas Merton
“Anxiety is the mark of spiritual insecurity.”
Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton
“If you write for God you will reach many men and bring them joy. If you write for men--you may make some money and you may give someone a little joy and you may make a noise in the world, for a little while. If you write for yourself, you can read what you yourself have written and after ten minutes you will be so disgusted that you will wish that you were dead.”
Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation

Thomas Merton
“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves and not to twist them to fit our own image.”
Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton
“Souls are like athletes, that need opponents worthy of them, if they are to be tried and extended and pushed to the full use of their powers, and rewarded according to their capacity.”
Thomas Merton, The Seven Storey Mountain

Thomas Merton
“It is a kind of pride to insist that none of our prayers should ever be petitions for our own needs: for this is only another subtle way of trying to put ourselves on the same plane as God – acting as if we had no needs, as if we were not creatures, not dependent on Him and dependent, by His will, on material things, too.”
Thomas Merton, The Seven Storey Mountain
