'The Principle of Nourishment and the Principle of Finality'

'As I have said, the purpose of all human growth is openness to others, to God, to the world; to discover our common humanity; to work for a world where there is more communion and compassion between human beings. But each person needs to choose the right means to be well nourished in order to achieve this end. We must make good choices. Athletes and artists know that they must live a disciplined life to achieve their goals.'

- Jean Vanier, Our Journey Home, p. 158
