Additional quotes by John O'Donohue

"The commercial edge of so-called "progress" has cut away a huge region of human tissue and webbing that held us in common with one another."

Sometimes, it is easy to be generous outward, to give and give and give and yet remain ungenerous to yourself. You lose the balance of your soul if you do not learn to take care of yourself. You need to be generous to yourself in order to receive the love that surrounds you.

At a deeper level, time is but eternity living dangerously.
