Thomas Merton Quotes

For It Had Become Evident To Me That I Was A Great Rebel. I Fancied That I Had Suddenly Risen Above All The Errors And Stupidities And Mistakes Of Modern Society
there Are Enough Of Them To Rise Above, I Admit
and That I Had Taken My Place In The Ranks Of Those Who Held Up Their Heads And Squared Their Shoulders And Marched Into The Future. In The Modern World, People Are Always Holding Up Their Heads And Marching Into The Future, Although They Haven't The Slightest Idea What They Think The "future" Is Or Could Possibly Mean. The Only Future We Seem To Walk Into, In Actual Fact, Is Full Of Bigger And More Terrible Wars, Wars Well Calculated To Knock Our Upraised Heads Off Those Squared Shoulders.
