A random but beloved quote

                    Margaret Frazer, creator of the Sr Fidelma mysteries, 

                                                                              from  The Traitors Tale 

You may have come 
by
stub-born selfwill to be a nun, but one of the great goals of your nunhood is to  learn to give up that 
self that willed you here. 

which translates really easily

You may have come to this place by stubborn self will, but one of the great goals of life is to learn 
to give up that self that willed you here.
