It is in deep solitude that I find the gentleness with which I can truly love my brothers. The more solitary I am the more affection I have for them…. Solitude and silence teach me to love my brothers for what they are, not for what they say.

  • -- Thomas Merton 托马斯·默顿

只有在深深的孤独中,我才能找到真正爱我的兄弟们的温柔。我越孤独,就越爱他们……孤独和沉默教会我爱我的兄弟,因为他们是谁,而不是他们说什么。
