― Anthony de Mello, Awareness

“But I need to feel beautiful and holy things around me, always: music, mystery cults, symbols, myths. I need it, and I refuse to give it up... That’s my fatal flaw.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian

“The literal meaning of life is whatever you're doing that prevents you from killing yourself.”
― Albert Camus

“Love springs from awareness. It is only inasmuch as you see someone as he or she really is here and now, and not as they are in your memory or your desire or in your imagination or projection, that you can truly love them. Otherwise, it is not the person that you love but the idea that you have formed of this person, or this person as the object of your desire, not as he or she is in themselves.”
― Anthony de Mello, The Way to Love: The Last Meditations of Anthony de Mello
