I can’t explain why I’m slogging through but this is still such a powerful read (for me)

“Strive after love, strive unwearily after love, the selfless love that is ready for sacrifice.”

“Freedom is not a matter of space but of spirit”

“…we have no need of monsters: ordinary policemen and good citizens will take care of everything.”

maybe I’ll find out later that Merton is not so great as he seems but I haven’t read a book this stimulating in a while!
