William Blake
“And we are put on this earth a little space that we might learn to bear the beams of love.”
William Blake

Thomas Merton
“Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.”
Thomas Merton

Tara Brach
“Perhaps the biggest tragedy of our lives is that freedom is possible, yet we can pass our years trapped in the same old patterns...We may want to love other people without holding back, to feel authentic, to breathe in the beauty around us, to dance and sing. Yet each day we listen to inner voices that keep our life small.”
Tara Brach, Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha

James Joyce
“All things are inconstant except the faith in the soul, which changes all things and fills their inconstancy with light.”
James Joyce

Jane Austen
“Know your own happiness. You want nothing but patience- or give it a more fascinating name, call it hope.”
Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility
