Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone – we find it with another. – Thomas Merton
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
We are not at peace with others because we are not at peace with ourselves, and we are not at peace with ourselves because we are not at peace with God. – 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
