Love Quotes Quote by Thomas Merton, Love and Living — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Friendship is selfless love, care, respect, and honor not a profitable opportunity.”

“Passion is...it's fire. And fire is great, man. But we're made of water. Water is how we keep living. Water is what we need to survive.”

““Why are you touching me?"”

“We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it, if it were not the earth where the same flowers come up again every spring that we used to gather with our tiny fingers as we sat lisping to ourselves on the grass, the same hips and haws on the autumn hedgerows, the same redbreasts that we used to call ‘God’s birds’ because they did no harm to the precious crops. What novelty is worth that sweet monotony where everything is known and loved because it is known?”

“Love: the sickest of Irony’s sick jokes. The place where logic and order go to die.”
