Top 5 quotes from (Carl) Frederick Buechner

"If it seems a childish thing to do, do it in remembrance that you are a child."
"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. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you. There's only one catch. Like any other gift, the gift of grace can be yours only if you'll reach out and take it. Maybe being able to reach out and take it is a gift too."
"Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality--not as we expect it to be but as it is--is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love."
"Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage."
"In his holy flirtation with the world, God occasionally drops a handkerchief. These handkerchiefs are called saints."
