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. – 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
Be good, keep your feet dry, your eyes open, your heart at peace and your soul in the joy of Christ. – 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
For some reason I cant explain, artist and musicians tend to look younger than our age. Being in music, you need this youthful sense of discovery and wonder for what youre doing and keep your imagination open. Thats a youthful way of looking at life and I think that reflects in how you age. – Joshua Bell
