The universe is in the habit of making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles, acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done, the smell of fresh baked bread. Beauty is everywhere.

More quotes by Matthew Fox
Work should be in order to live. We don't live in order to work. That shift in awareness is necessary.
Matthew Fox
I don't think that fundamentalism has anything to do with Jesus Christ. They call themselves Christians, but if that's Christian, count me out. Fundamentalism is built on fear and greed. They're telling you to give them your money otherwise you're going to hell.
Matthew Fox
Compassion is not pity ... compassion never considers an object as weak or inferior. Compassion, one might say, works from a strength born of awareness of shared weakness, and not from someone else's weakness. And from the awareness of the mutuality of us all. Thus to put down another as in pity is to put down oneself.
Matthew Fox
It is precisely the despair of our times that convinces me that a renaissance is right around the corner.
Matthew Fox
When our inner self connects to our work and our work to our inner self, the work knows no limit, for the inner self knows no limit.
Matthew Fox
Beauty saves. Beauty heals. Beauty motivates. Beauty unites. Beauty returns us to our origins, and here lies the ultimate act of saving, of healing, of overcoming dualism.
Matthew Fox
When it comes to wilderness animals we have to make an effort to preserve what areas we can that they can be themselves in. Its come to a point though, clearly, where some species have to be cared for by humans if they are not going to disappear altogether.
Matthew Fox
The prophets preach . . . that pleasure, not will-power and coercion, is how you most deeply transform people.
Matthew Fox
A lot of people want to see this idealized version of heroism, all pretty and perfect, and I'm not interested in playing the goody-goody hero at all.
Matthew Fox
I'm really enjoying the process of learning to fly. How it will fit into my life down the road - I'm looking forward to discovering that.
Matthew Fox
The only way to learn compassion is through your heart you have to back up and pass through your own pain.
Matthew Fox
The whole purpose of letting pain be pain is this: to let go of pain. By entering into it, we see that we are strong enough and capable enough to move through it. We find out that it ultimately has a gift for us.
Matthew Fox
We are in the cosmos and the cosmos is in us.
Matthew Fox
Prayer is essentially about making the heart strong so that fear cannot penetrate there.
Matthew Fox
Filmmaking is always sort of building a mosaic of this arc of what the character is going through.
Matthew Fox
Sustainability is another word for justice, for what is just is sustainable and what is unjust is not.
Matthew Fox
I am a Westerner. We're not going to change the West by going East. The East has a lot to teach us, but essentially it's like a mirror, saying, hey, can't you see what's here in your own religion, what are you, stupid?
Matthew Fox
I think that there's a hidden darkness in all of us!
Matthew Fox
Do not confuse beauty with beautiful. Beautiful is a human judgment. Beauty is All. The difference is everything.
Matthew Fox
To create is always to learn, to begin over, to begin at zero.
Matthew Fox
