Matthew Fox Heart Quotations

Inner work is finding joy in work. Our real work is heart work and soul work.

A civilization built on dualism and war within and between persons, one that puts its most creative minds and its best engineers to sadistic work building more and more destructive weapons, is no civilization at all. It needs a radical transformation from the heart outwards. It needs to outgrow and outlaw war just as in the last century it outlawed slavery. The human race has outgrown war, but it hardly knows it yet.

The only way to learn compassion is through your heart; you have to back up and pass through your own pain.

Prayer is essentially about making the heart strong so that fear cannot penetrate there.

Our self-expression is meant to be a manifestation of the silence of our hearts.
