“Do you think it’s easy to change? Alas, it is very hard to change and be different. It means passing through the waters of oblivion.” – D. H. Lawrence, from the poem “Change”

“And it is in this darkness, when there is nothing left in us that can please or comfort our own minds, when we seem to be useless and worthy of all contempt, when we seem to have failed, when we seem to be destroyed and devoured, it is then that the deep and secret selfishness that is too close to us for us to identify is stripped away from our souls. It is in this darkness that we find liberty. It is in this abandonment that we are made strong. This is the night which empties us and makes us pure.” – Thomas Merton (1915)
