New Seeds of Contemplation

Very interesting. The beginning few chapters repeat themselves, but I do like what Merton has to say.

An interesting read. I'm afraid I'm going to have to digest a bit, and then read it again some time.

Pay as little attention as you can to the faults of other people and none at all to their natural defects and eccentricities.

One of the first things to learn if you want to be a contemplative is how to mind your own business. Nothing is more suspicious, in a man who seems holy, than an impatient desire to reform other men.

The readernaut information for this book is incorrect. Readernaut seems to think that there are only 208 pages. My copy has 297.

If you search through my tumblr, you'll find lots of quotes from this book. Now that I'm on readernaut, I hope to put those quotes both here and there.
