More quotes by 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
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
Work should be in order to live. We don't live in order to work. That shift in awareness is necessary.
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
I directed an episode of 'Party of Five' toward the very end of that show. It was a great experience.
Matthew Fox
Prayer is essentially about making the heart strong so that fear cannot penetrate there.
Matthew Fox
It is precisely the despair of our times that convinces me that a renaissance is right around the corner.
Matthew Fox
We are in the cosmos and the cosmos is in us.
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
Pain destroys the illusions of false, that is, elitist pleasures. It burns from the inside out. It, therefore, sensitizes us to what is truly beautiful in life.
Matthew Fox
Soul is our appetite, driving us to eat from the banquet of life. People filled with the hunger of soul take food from every dish before them, whether it be sweet or bitter.
Matthew Fox
A lot of the time I hate acting. It has a lot to do with the way I was brought up in a world where showing your emotions is frowned upon. It's just not manly. I don't do anything in life because I love doing it. It's because I want to be good at it.
Matthew Fox
The prophets preach . . . that pleasure, not will-power and coercion, is how you most deeply transform people.
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
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
I didn't learn to swim until I was 21 or something because I grew up in the mountains in Wyoming and all the water is glacier runoff and cold.
Matthew Fox
Filmmaking is always sort of building a mosaic of this arc of what the character is going through.
Matthew Fox
I'm not saying I want a film career because I think I'm too good for television. I'm simply saying I want more control over my life.
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
Awe is the beginning of wisdom. Awe is the beginning of education.
