We are fragmented, yet we hunger for wholeness...

DateFriday, June 3, 2011 at 9:29PM

This quote resonates very strongly:

“We doubt the possibility of being at home in the world, yet we desire that home above all else. We are certain only of ourselves - if in a somewhat precarious way - and we work toward the certainty of something larger. We are fragmentary, even masters of fragmentation, and we hunger for wholeness.”

— Jedediah Purdy, For Common Things (25) via invisibleforeigner
