The heart that has truly loved never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close.
Thomas Moore

Sweet flowers alone can say what passion fears revealing.
Thomas Moore

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

Silence is not an absence of sound but rather a shifting of attention toward sounds that speak to the soul.
Thomas Moore
Image
A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

Thomas Moore

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
The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don't want paradise, you are not human and if you are not human, you don't have a soul.
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
A genuine odyssey is not about piling up experiences. It is a deeply felt, risky, unpredictable tour of the soul.
