Text Quotes
Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
In the silence of a midwinter dusk, there is a sound so faint that for all you can tell it may be only the sound of the silence itself. You hold your breath to listen. You are aware of the beating of your heart. The extraordinary thing that is about to happen is matched only by the extraordinary moment just before it happens. Advent is the name of that moment (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
People are disturbed not by things but by the view they take of them. They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
If you want to talk about grace, if you want to talk about revelation, talk about your life with some depth, which doesn’t mean lurid revelations as much as simply looking at your own deep experiences and describing them as they are (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Where your deep gladness meets with the deep hunger of the world, there you will find a further calling (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Don’t look down on them for looking down on us. Look at them, instead, as friends we don’t know yet and who don’t yet know what they are missing in not knowing us (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Snobs are people who look down on other people, but that does not justify our looking down on them. Who can say what dark fears of being inferior lurk behind their superior airs or what they suffer in private for the slights they dish out in public? (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
If it seems a childish thing to do, do it in remembrance that you are a child (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)
I not only have my secrets, I am my secrets. And you are yours. Our secrets are human secrets, and our trusting each other enough to share them with each other has much to do with the secret of what it means to be human (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
... in the long run, there can be no joy for anybody until there is joy finally for us all (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Think of these pages as graffiti maybe, and where I have scratched up in a public place my longings and loves, my grievances and indecencies, be reminded in private of your own. In that way, at least, we can hold a kind of converse (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
It’s less the words they say than those they leave unsaid that split old friends apart (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Remember me not for the ill I’ve done but for the good I’ve dreamed (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
A miracle is when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A miracle is when one plus one equals a thousand (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
He also said we should carve in the year and place where I was born, but I said no. As a man dies many times before he’s dead, so does he wend from birth to birth until, by grace, he comes alive at last (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Joy is a mystery because it can happen anywhere, anytime, even under the most unpromising circumstances, even in the midst of suffering, with tears in its eyes (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Life is grace. Sleep is forgiveness. The night absolves. Darkness wipes the slate clean, not spotless to be sure, but clean enough for another day’s chalking (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Listen. Your life is happening. You are happening. Think back on your journey. The music of your life (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Faith is stepping out into the unknown with nothing to guide us but a hand just beyond our grasp (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Unbelief is as much of a choice as belief is. What makes it in many ways more appealing is that whereas to believe in something requires some measure of understanding and effort, not to believe doesn’t require much of anything at all (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
You can survive on your own; you can grow strong on your own; you can prevail on your own; but you cannot become human on your own (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Even the saddest things can become, once we have made peace with them, a source of wisdom and strength (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
Pay attention to the things that bring a tear to your eye or a lump in your throat because they are signs that the holy is drawing near (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
The world speaks of holy things in the only language it knows, which is worldly language (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
If preachers decide to preach about hope, let them preach out of what they themselves hope for (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
The past is the place we view the present from as much as the other way around (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
If we are a people who pray, darkness is apt to be a lot of what our prayers are about. If we are people who do not pray, it is apt to be darkness in one form or another that has stopped our mouths (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
God in his unending greatness and glory and man in his unending littleness, prepared for the worst but rarely for the best, prepared for the possible but rarely for the impossible (Frederick Buechner Quotes)
