It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

Everything Good In You

Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged , , , , , , , on December 24, 2021| Leave a Comment »

There are several kinds of love.  One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance.  This is the ugly and crippling kind.  The other is an outpouring of everything good in you — of kindness and consideration and respect — not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable.  The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength, and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn’t know you had. . .
If it is right, it happens  —  The main thing is not to hurry.  Nothing good gets away.
    —    John Steinbeck
From:  Letter to his lovesick son, Thom, 10 Nov 1958
