Frederick Buechner Quotes - Page 11

• Si lo que te hace feliz es salir y vivir a lo grande y gastarte todo tu dinero en vino, mujeres y canciones, el mundo no lo necesita. Pero, por otro lado, si dedicas tu vida a las buenas obras -te vas a trabajar a una colonia de leprosos y eso no te hace feliz-, lo más probable es que no lo estés haciendo muy bien.

• I am such a person of words. I've spent so much of my life trying to get it right, say it right, say it eloquently, say it truthfully, say it honestly, that when I hear it said in ways that none of those adverbs would describe I find myself so repelled that it almost shuts my mind off.

• I don't know that it makes any difference whether it's at this time or a hundred years before or a hundred years later. I think always it's a matter of simply listen[ing] to what is going on around you and in your own experience. Try to understand what's happening, or if not to understand it, at least to appreciate the reality of it.
