More quotes by Thomas Moore

Image
Most, if not all, problems brought to therapists are issues of love. It makes sense that the cure is also love.
Thomas Moore
Image
It is quite cruel that a poet cannot wander through his regions of enchantment without having a critic, forever, like the old man of the sea, upon his back.
Thomas Moore
Image
Came but for friendship, and took away love.
Thomas Moore
Image
Rich and rare were the gems she wore, And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore.
Thomas Moore
Image
We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.
Thomas Moore
Image
Disappointments in love, even betrayals and losses, serve the soul at the very moment they seem in life to be tragedies. The soul is partly in time and partly in eternity. We might remember the part that resides in eternity when we feel despair over the part that is in life.
Thomas Moore
Image
We let a river shower its banks with a spirit that invades the people living there, and we protect that river, knowing that without its blessings the people have no source of soul.
Thomas Moore
Image
In our prayer and meditation we hope for fulfilling ordinary life.
Thomas Moore
Image
It is only through mystery and madness that the soul is revealed.
Thomas Moore
Image
The key to seeing the world's soul, and in the process wakening our own, is to get over the confusion by which we think that fact is real and imagination is illusion.
Thomas Moore
Image
How many times do we lose an occasion for soul work by leaping ahead to final solutions without pausing to savor the undertones? We are a radically bottom-line society, eager to act and to end tension, and thus we lose opportunities to know ourselves for our motives and our secrets.
Thomas Moore
Image
This is the right time, and this is the right thing.
Thomas Moore
Image
It is precisely because we resist the darkness in ourselves that we miss the depths of the loveliness, beauty, brilliance, creativity, and joy that lie at our core.
Thomas Moore
Image
With what a deep devotedness of woe I wept thy absence - o'er and o'er again Thinking of thee, still thee, till thought grew pain, And memory, like a drop that, night and day, Falls cold and ceaseless, wore my heart away!
Thomas Moore
Image
What's important is finding out what works for you.
Thomas Moore
Image
Silence is not an absence of sound but rather a shifting of attention toward sounds that speak to the soul.
Thomas Moore
Image
Like the stain'd web that whitens in the sun, grow pure by being purely shone upon.
Thomas Moore
Image
The heart that has truly loved never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close.
Thomas Moore
Image
A soulmate is someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as though the communicating and communing that take place between us were not the product of intentional efforts, but rather a divine grace.
Thomas Moore
Image
The young May moon is beaming, love. The glow-worm's lamp is gleaming, love. How sweet to rove, Through Morna's grove, When the drowsy world is dreaming, love! Then awake! - the heavens look bright, my dear, 'Tis never too late for delight, my dear, And the best of all ways To lengthen our days Is to steal a few hours from the night, my dear!
