-
It is only through mystery and madness that the soul is revealed
Thomas Moore -
Disappointments in love, even betrayals and losses, serve the soul at the very moment they seem in life to be tragedies. The soul is partly in time and partly in eternity. We might remember the part that resides in eternity when we feel despair over the part that is in life.
Thomas Moore -
A soul mate is someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as though the communication and communing that take place between us were not the product of intentional efforts, but rather a divine grace. This kind of relationship is so important to the soul that many have said there is nothing more precious in life.
Thomas Moore -

Thomas Moore -
Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities—that's training or instruction—but is rather a making visible what is hidden as a seed... To be educated, a person doesn't have to know much or be informed, but he or she does have to have been exposed vulnerably to the transformative events of an engaged human life... One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated.
Thomas Moore -
And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touch'd by the thorns.

Thomas Moore -
Those who plot the destruction of others often perish in the attempt.
Thomas Moore -
When we relate to our bodies as having soul, we attend to their beauty, their poetry and their expressiveness. Our very habit of treating the body as a machine, whose muscles are like pulleys and its organs engines, forces its poetry underground, so that we experience the body as an instrument and see its poetics only in illness.
Thomas Moore -
How many times do we lose an occasion for soul work by leaping ahead to final solutions without pausing to savor the undertones? We are a radically bottom-line society, eager to act and to end tension, and thus we lose opportunities to know ourselves for our motives and our secrets.
Thomas Moore -
Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
Thomas Moore -
Love doesn't demand perfection, but it does ask you to give yourself with less reserve than you'd prefer.
Thomas Moore -
Humility, that low, sweet root, from which all heavenly virtues shoot.
Thomas Moore -
It's important to be heroic, ambitious, productive, efficient, creative, and progressive, but these qualities don't necessarily nurture soul. The soul has different concerns, of equal value: downtime for reflection, conversation, and reverie; beauty that is captivating and pleasuring; relatedness to the environs and to people; and any animal's rhythm of rest and activity.
Thomas Moore -
It is only to the happy that tears are a luxury.
Thomas Moore -
All that's bright must fade, The brightest still the fleetest; All that's sweet was made But to be lost when sweetest.
Thomas Moore -
Rich and rare were the gems she wore, And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore.
