Identity


Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation, New Directions Books, 1961

 If I never become what I am meant to be, but always remain what I am not, I shall spend eternity contradicting myself by being at once something and nothing, a life that wants to live and is dead, a death that wants to be dead and cannot quite achieve its own death because it still exists. Pg. 33
