"What do I mean by loving ourselves properly?……" — Thomas Merton

"What do I mean by loving ourselves properly? I mean first of all, desiring to live, accepting life as a very great gift and a great good, not because of what it gives us, but because of what it enables us to give to others."

Thomas Merton
