Certainly, many people never achieve full maturity, but each can make a little progress towards establishing his identity and becoming open to others. The important thing is not that we should achieve human perfection, far from it, but that we should set out on the road towards it through acts of openness and love, kindness and communion. Every person today, in whatever situation he finds himself, in his home or at work, can perform such acts.
- Jean Vanier, Our Journey Home, p. 148
