Text Quotes
The best moments any of us have as human beings are those moments when for a little while it is possible to escape the squirrel-cage of being me into the landscape of being us. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
You can’t be too careful what you tell a child because you never know what he’ll take hold of and spend the rest of his life remembering you by. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Like a house in the rain, books were havens of permanence and protection from whatever it was that as a child I needed protection from. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
For some people, going to church is going home. In a very profound sense, I would say the same thing. Home is where Christ is. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
The preaching is part of the reason I don’t go to church. Plus, I don’t know, it was never part of my tradition. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Laugh till you weep. Weep till there’s nothing left but to laugh at your weeping. In the end it’s all one. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
It is as impossible for man to demonstrate the existence of God as it would be for even Sherlock Holmes to demonstrate the existence of Arthur Conan Doyle. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Faith in God is less apt to proceed from miracles than miracles from faith in God (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
I’m trying to listen to my past, listen to what’s most deeply going on inside myself, my creative set of fictional characters, a fictional world - to listen to that world, to search. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Becoming a Christian was terribly helpful to me. I can’t imagine finding my way without it. I think it can be very crucially important to ally yourself with some religion. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
The Jesus I follow is the peacemaker, is one who says forgive your enemies, who worries about the poor, who worries about the poorest of the poor instead of the richest of the rich. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn’t have been complete without you. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
If you have never known the power of God’s love, then maybe it is because you have never asked to know it - I mean really asked, expecting an answer. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
It is not objective proof of God’s existence that we want but, whether we use religious language for it or not, the experience of God’s presence. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
What deadens us most to God’s presence within us, I think, is the inner dialogue that we are continually engaged in with ourselves, the endless chatter of human thought. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Grace is something you can never get but can only be given. There’s no way to earn it or deserve it or bring it about anymore than you can deserve the taste of raspberries and cream or earn good looks. A good night’s sleep is grace and so are good dreams. Most tears are grace. The smell of rain is grace. Somebody loving you is grace. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Gail Godwin has written a book about the heaviest matters of loss, grief, and loneliness with a touch so light that I was as often deeply amused by it as I was deeply moved. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
The trouble with really seeing and really hearing is that then we really have to do something about what we have seen and heard. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
No words come easily to my lips. I think ultimately - what I like to think is that I’m in some sense hearing the mystery itself. (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Grace is something you can never get but only be given (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
You can never be sure whether you are discovering the truth or inventing it (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
If you want to be holy, be kind (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Envy is the consuming desire to have everybody else as unsuccessful as you are (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don’t be afraid (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Doubts are the ants in the pants of faith. They keep it awake and moving (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
The story of any one of us is in some measure the story of us all (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Your calling is where your own greatest joy intersects with the needs of the world (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Faith is the assurance that the best and holiest dream is true after all (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Pay mind to your own life, your own health, and wholeness. A bleeding heart is of no help to anyone if it bleeds to death (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
