On Love:
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.
-Thomas Merton
Love seeks one thing only: the good of the one loved. It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of themselves. Love, therefore, is its own reward.
-Thomas Merton
Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.
-Thomas Merton
On truth:
We have what we seek, it is there all the time, and if we give it time, it will make itself known to us.
-Thomas Merton
