We live in a flash of light; evening comes and it is night forever. It's only a flash and we waste it. We waste it with our anxiety, our worries, our concerns, our burdens.
Anthony de MelloLive your life as you see fit. That's not selfish. Selfish is to demand that others live their lives as you see fit.
Anthony de MelloPeople who deliberate fully before they take a step will spend their lives on one leg
Anthony de MelloIf you search within your heart, you will find something there that will make it possible for you to understand: a spark of disenchantment and discontent, which if fanned into flame will become a raging forest fire that will burn up the whole of the illusory world you are living in, thereby unveiling to your wondering eyes the kingdom that you have always lived in unsuspectingly.
Anthony de Mello
