More quotes by Anthony de Mello
I seek the meaning of existence, said the stranger. You are of course assuming, said the Master, that existence has a meaning. Doesn't it? When you experience existence as it is - not as you think it is you will discover that your question has no meaning, said the Master.
Anthony de Mello

Anthony de Mello

There is yet another illusion, that it is important to be respectable, to be loved and appreciated, to be important. Many say we have a natural urge to be loved and appreciated, to belong. That’s false. Drop this illusion and you will find happiness. We have a natural urge to be free, a natural urge to love, but not to be loved.
Anthony de Mello

Loneliness is not cured by human company. Loneliness is cured by contact with reality.
Anthony de Mello
When you come to see you are not as wise today as you thought you were yesterday, you are wiser today.
