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.

More quotes by Matthew Fox
Humor and paradox are often the only ways to respond to life's sorrow with grace.
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
It is precisely the despair of our times that convinces me that a renaissance is right around the corner.
Matthew Fox
Sustainability is another word for justice, for what is just is sustainable and what is unjust is not.
Matthew Fox
Do not confuse beauty with beautiful. Beautiful is a human judgment. Beauty is All. The difference is everything.
Matthew Fox
Awe is the beginning of wisdom. Awe is the beginning of education.
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
Animals teach us about the animals in ourselves. We need their spirits.
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
Evil is the shadow of angel. Just as there are angels of light, support, guidance, healing and defense, so we have experiences of shadow angels. And we have names for them: racism, sexism, homophobia are all demons - but they're not out there.
Matthew Fox
Im not really a tropical paradise kind of person.
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 think that there's a hidden darkness in all of us!
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
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
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.
Matthew Fox
We are in the cosmos and the cosmos is in us.
Matthew Fox
We honor life when we work. The type of work is not important: the fact of work is. All work feeds the soul if it is honest and done to the best of our abilities and if it brings joy to others.
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 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
