Thomas Merton Quotes

The First Step To Unselfish Love Is The Recognition That Our Love May Be Deluded. We Must First Of All Purify Our Love By Renouncing The Pleasure Of Loving As An End In Itself. As Long As Pleasure Is Our End, We Will Be Dishonest With Ourselves And With Those We Love. We Will Not Seek Their Good, But Our Own Pleasure.
