Additional quotes by John O'Donohue

The duty of priviledge is absolute intregity

in the cry of a well that slips from dark
the earth began to dream you; how it would
polish from precious stones dust for a face,
from tears of sycamores tone for your eyes.

We live in a world that responds to our longing; it is a place where the echoes always return, even if sometimes slowly. - John O'Donohue
