Thomas Merton The Logic Of Worldly Success Rests On A Fallacy   Thomas Merton

 

“The logic of worldly success rests on a fallacy: the strange error that our perfection depends on the thoughts and opinions and applause of other men! A weird life it is, indeed, to be living always in somebody else’s imagination, as if that were the only place in which one could at last become real!”
