Thomas Merton

"The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."

-Thomas Merton

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                                          I really like this quote because this is very true to the way that we are living. I think  that is exactly what we do because it suits us better, we woukd rather change the person to be like ourselves. It takes less work, and we would rather do that then just love the person for who  they are. if you cant do that then why did you fall in love with the person anyways?

 

Clarence Darrow

"You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. You can only be free if I am free." -Clarence Darrow

I dont really understand what hes saying or trying to say but i dont think that i completly agree with him, because everyone has rights. If you want to be free you can because thats your right. I also dont agree with the last part of his quote because it just sounds soo demanding, like if hes saying no if i aint free you cant be just cuz i aint. Sheesh.
