Random quote of the day:
“A religious person ought, in respect to all the things he uses, be like a statue which one may drape with clothing, but which feels no grief and makes no resistance when one strips it again. It is in this way you should feel toward your clothes, your books, your cell, and everything else you make use of.
—St. Alphonsus Rodriguez, quoted in The Varieties of Religious Experience, Lectures XI, XII, XIII by William James
