“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 1915-1968

I so loved this quote of the day. Since you've encouraged me to post my own, here's a couple that I find very inspiring:
"The important thing is this: to be ready at any moment to sacrifice what you are for what you could become." Charles Dubois
"Enlightenment consists not merely in the seeing of luminous shapes and visions, but in making the darkness visible. The latter procedure is more difficult, and therefore, unpopular." Carl Jung
