1 " What we can and should change is ourselves: our impatience, our egoism (including intellectual egoism), our sense of injury, our lack of love and forbearance. I regard every other attempt to change the world, even if it springs from the best intentions, as futile. "
― Hermann Hesse
2 " If we are to grow in love, the prisons of our egoism must be unlocked. This implies suffering, constant effort and repeated choices. "
― Jean Vanier , Community And Growth
