I'm, literally, just like the parrots that are taught to speak; they know
no more than what they hear or are shown, and they often repeat it. If
the the Lord wants me to say something new, His Majesty will provide.

Kavanaugh, OCD and Otilio Rodriguez, OCD, pg 28 [published as The
Wisdom of Teresa of Avila, Paulist Press, 1979]
