Famous Dolores Hart Quotes
Religious life has to become an expression of the gifts of the person. You don’t simply throw away your personality, your giftedness and leave everything at the gate and go in and expect to find Jesus. ~ Dolores Hart.

Top Dolores Hart Quotes
Monastic life is impossible for most people to understand. People think that it is a life that is shut off, or you’re gone from the world, but it’s exactly opposite. You are more embedded into the world. It’s a way of love that includes everyone that you’ve ever loved. ~ Dolores Hart.
The only thing that helps me keep faith is to stay in the truth of love because when you love someone – or many people – you believe in them and you believe in who they are and what they can do…then your belief has to go to an eternal presence because when you really care for someone you can’t bear the thought of never seeing them again. You want that mystery of eternity to be real. ~ Dolores Hart.

The mission of the media is to reflect the community to itself, to give the people a vision of who they are, what they’re doing, what they want, what they need. I think motion pictures have been an incredible gift to humanity. I can’t imagine living in a world without them. ~ Dolores Hart.
Many people don’t understand the difference between a vocation and your own idea about something. A vocation is a call-one you don’t necessarily want. The only thing I ever wanted to be was an actress. But I was called by God. ~ Dolores Hart.
