Henri J.M. Nouwen
“The more we come to depend on the images offered to us by those who try to distract us, entertain us, use us for their purposes, and make us conform to the demands of a consumer society, the easier it is for us to lose our identity.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Spiritual Life: Eight Essential Titles by Henri Nouwen

“read and inquire as a free adult is to take on the awesome responsibility of allowing oneself to be changed.”
Zena Hitz, Lost in Thought: The Hidden Pleasures of an Intellectual Life

Tori Murden McClure
“Why am I supposed to be afraid of the dark? People die from hunger, from cold, from injury and illness, but what peril is there in the sun going down? It is an interior darkness, the darkness of mind, that is deadly, not the dark of night.”
Tori Murden McClure, A Pearl in the Storm: How I Found My Heart in the Middle of the Ocean

Josef Pieper
“for where the religions spirit is not tolerated, where there is no room for poetry and art, where love and death are robbed of all significant effect and reduced to the level of a banality, philosophy will never prosper.”
Josef Pieper, Leisure: The Basis of Culture

“The freedom of a leisurely activity is the freedom from results or outcomes beyond it, not the freedom of rest or recreation.”
Zena Hitz, Lost in Thought: The Hidden Pleasures of an Intellectual Life
