On making something of oneself - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“Later I discovered and am still discovering up to this very moment that it is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman (the so-called priestly type!), a righteous man or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer via Annie Dillard - For the Time Being pg. 171
