“If you try to view yourself through the lenses that others offer you, all you will see are distortions; your own light and beauty will become blurred, awkward, and ugly. Your sense of inner beauty has to remain a very private thing.”John O'Donohue Source: Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
“It is lovely to meet an old person whose face is deeply lined, a face that has been deeply inhabited, to look in the eyes and find light there.”John O'Donohue Source: Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
“All you can ever achieve is a sense of your soul. You gain little glimpses of its light, colors, and contours. You feel the inspiration of its possibilities and the wonder of its mysteries.”John O'Donohue Source: Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
“The secret and the sacred are sisters. When the secret is not respected, the sacred vanishes. Consequently, reflection should not shine too severe or aggressive a light on the world of the soul.”John O'Donohue Source: Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
