Thomas Merton
“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them”
Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island

Pema Chödrön
“Like all explorers, we are drawn to discover what's out there without knowing yet if we have the courage to face it.”
Pema Chodron

Michel de Montaigne
“Obsession is the wellspring of genius and madness.”
Michel de Montaigne

Oscar Wilde
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

Pema Chödrön
“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man's-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again. ”
Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times
