Additional quotes by Anthony de Mello
Sinners often speak the truth. And saints have led people astray. Examine what is said, not the one who says it.
So, we were born happy. We lost it. We were born with the gift of life. We lost it. We’ve got to rediscover it. Why did we lose it? Because we were working actively. They taught us to work actively, to make ourselves miserable. How did they do that? By teaching us to become attached. By teaching us to have desires so intense that we would refuse to be happy unless they were fulfilled.
You’re never so ready to forget yourself as when you are happy.
