Quote by Thomas Merton

"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well."

"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."

"The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image."

"Happiness is not something that comes ready-made. It comes from your own actions."

"Freedom to pursue your passion is precious."

"Freedom comes at a cost."

"Order isn't restriction. It's freedom."

"Freedom comes with responsibility"
