Quotation of the Week

“Only another person can challenge and confront us at this deep personal level of our own private will
and reveal to us how petty it is.
Only a real encounter with another real person, day in and day out, can begin to prick the bubble of the ego.”
--Mike Mason, The Mystery of Marriage
