“We mostly spend our lives conjugating three verbs: to Want, to
Have and to Do. Craving, clutching, and fussing, on the material, political,
social, emotional, intellectual, even on the religious plane, we are kept in
perpetual unrest, forgetting that none of these verbs have any ultimate
significance, except so far as they are transcended by and included in the
fundamental verb, to Be, and that Being, not wanting, having and doing, is the
essence of the spiritual life.”
~ Evelyn Underhill
