It is no easier to live in community after twenty years than it was at the start; on the contrary, in fact. People are always a little naïve when they enter community; they may have illusions and they also have the grace they need to pull them away from an individual and egotistical life. People who have been traveling in community for twenty years know that it isn't easy. They are very conscious of their own limitations and those of others. They know the full weight of their own egoism. (Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 107, L'Arche Canada | L'Arche Canada Foundation | Jean Vanier Online)
