Philosophy Quote by Santa Teresa de Jesús — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Let nothing disturb you,”

“Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains" - Rousseau”

“When I see the blind and wretched state of men, when I survey the whole universe in its deadness, and man left to himself with no light, as though lost in this corner of the universe without knowing who put him there, what he has to do, or what will become of him when he dies, incapable of knowing anything, I am moved to terror, like a man transported in his sleep to some terrifying desert island, who wakes up quite lost, with no means of escape. Then I marvel that so wretched a state does not drive people to despair.”

“On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time.”

“The only value of wasted time is knowledge.”

“The only way we'll get freedom for ourselves is to identify ourselves with every oppressed people in the world. We are blood brothers to the people of Brazil, Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba -- yes Cuba too.”

“You cannot be solved. You can only be understood”
