Thomas Merton
“We thank Him less by words than by the serene happiness of silent acceptance. It is our emptiness in the presence of His reality, our silence in the presence of His infinitely rich silence, our joy in the bosom of the serene darkness in which His light holds us absorbed, it is all this that praises Him.”
Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation

“In the purest landscape, the human subject is the immortality of the soul by the faithfulness of love.”
John Ruskin

Thomas Merton
“Do not look for rest in any pleasure, because you were not created for pleasure: you were created for spiritual joy. And if you do not know the difference between pleasure and spiritual joy you have not yet begun to live.”
Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation

Thomas Merton
“The fruitfulness of our lives depends in large measure in our ability to doubt our own words and to question the value of our own work. The man who completely trusts his own estimate of himself is doomed to sterility.”
Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation
