Thomas Merton Quotes

On The Last Day Of January 1915, Under The Sign Of The Water Bearer, In A Year Of A Great War, And Down In The Shadow Of Some French Mountains On The Borders Of Spain, I Came Into The World. Free By Nature, In The Image Of God, I Was Nevertheless The Prisoner Of My Own Violence And My Own Selfishness, In The Image Of The World Into Which I Was Born. That World Was The Picture Of Hell, Full Of Men Like Myself, Loving God And Yet Hating Him; Born To Love Him, Living Instead In Fear And Hopeless Self-contradictory Hungers.
