Thomas Merton
“Day after day the outward man crumbles and breaks down and the inward man, the Man of Heaven, is born and grows in wisdom and knowledge before the eyes of men—who cannot recognize him.”
Thomas Merton, The Sign of Jonas

Thomas Merton
“The great sorrow of mankind is turned to joy by the love of Christ,”
Thomas Merton, The Sign of Jonas

Thomas Merton
“That is why everyone who humbleth himself shall be exalted and everyone who exalteth himself, in the appetite for great lights and extraordinary experiences and feelings and mystical consolations, shall be humbled. Because the richer he desires to be in these things the poorer he will be in the sight of God, in whose eyes all greatness is as nothing.”
Thomas Merton, The Sign of Jonas

Thomas Merton
“discovery of God and of all things in Him. This is a wine without intoxication, a joy that has no poison hidden in it. It is life without death.”
Thomas Merton, The Sign of Jonas

Thomas Merton
“He laments the poverty of man. We are so indigent we even need words. (Consequence: the more words we need, the greater our poverty.) We need them not only to communicate with others, but also to communicate with ourselves. For we are not ourselves. We are divided, exiled from ourselves. We have to talk to the self from which we are separated.”
Thomas Merton, The Sign of Jonas
