Anthony de Mello
“The one who would be constant in happiness must frequently change.”
Anthony de Mello, Awareness: The Perils and Opportunities of Reality

James Hillman
“Recognize the call as a prime fact of human existence; (b) align life with it; (c) find the common sense to realize that accidents, including the heartache and the natural shocks the flesh is heir to, belong to the pattern of the image, are necessary to it, and help fulfill it. A calling may be postponed, avoided, intermittently missed. It may also possess you completely. Whatever; eventually it will out. It makes its claim. The daimon does not go away.”
James Hillman, The Soul's Code: In Search of Character and Calling

Anthony de Mello
“There is only one cause of unhappiness: the false beliefs you have in your head, beliefs so widespread, so commonly held, that it never occurs to you to question them.”
Anthony de Mello

Anthony de Mello
“The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, 'If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.'

Said Diogenes, 'Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king".”
Anthony de Mello

Richard Rohr
“We do not think ourselves into new ways of living, we live ourselves into new ways of thinking.”
Richard Rohr
