From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-07-07.:
"If you want to identify me ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am living for, in detail, and ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the things I want to live for. Between those two answers you can determine the identity of any person." -- Thomas Merton, from The Man in the Sycamore Tree.(submitted to the mailing list by Kathleen Magone)
