Pico Iyer Quotes About Monk

• Nada me hace sentir mejor -más tranquilo, más claro y más feliz- que estar en un lugar, absorto en un libro, una conversación, una pieza de música. En realidad es algo más profundo que la mera felicidad: es la alegría, que el monje David Steindl-Rast describe como "ese tipo de felicidad que no depende de lo que ocurra".
