Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.
From Thomas Merton
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.
Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.

A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire.
Yet it is in this loneliness that the deepest activities begin. It is here that you discover act without motion, labor that is profound repose, vision in obscurity, and, beyond all desire, a fulfillment whose limits extend to infinity.
Perhaps I am stronger than I think.
We are so obsessed with doing that we have no time and no imagination left for being. As a result, men are valued not for what they are but for what they do or what they have - for their usefulness.
