“Algunos creen que basta con tener una virtud, como ser bondadoso, indulgente o caritativo, sin preocuparse del resto. Pero si eres altruista de un modo y egoísta de otros veinticinco modos, tu virtud no te hará mucho bien. De hecho, probablemente resultará no ser otra cosa que la variedad vigesimosexta del mismo egoísmo, disfrazada de virtud.”
Quote by Thomas Merton
