Comments on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola
“I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.”
“And I Jack, the Pumpkin King, have grown so tired of the same old thing…”

That's a sign of respect that my father didn't get, that my brother didn't get, that my mother didn't get.

Context: Turn where you will, everywhere, the man and the woman ever confronting each other, the man who loves a hundred times, the woman who has the power to love so much and to forget so much. I went on my way again. I came and went in the midst of the naked truth. I am not a man of peculiar and exceptional traits. I recognise myself in everybody. I have the same desires, the same longings as the ordinary human being. Like everybody else I am a copy of the truth spelled out in the Room, which is, "I am alone and I want what I have not and what I shall never have." It is by this need that people live, and by this need that people die.
