"There is no substance under the things with which I am clothed. I am hollow, and my structure of pleasures and ambitions has no foundation. ... And when they are gone there will be nothing left of me but my own nakedness and emptiness and hollowness, to tell me that I am my own mistake. ... Therefore I cannot hope to find myself anywhere except in Him." New Seeds of Contemplation, by Thomas Merton
