Famous Quotes about life

Frederick Buechner quote #476 from Godric

Whats prayer Its shooting shafts into the dark. What mark they strike if any whos to say Its reaching for a hand you cannot touch. The silence is so fathomless that prayers like plummets vanish into the sea. You beg. You whimper. You load God down with empty praise. You tell him sins that he already knows full well. You seek to change his changeless will. Yet Godric prays the way he breathes for else his heart would wither in his breast. Prayer is the wind that fills his sail. Else drift with witless tides. And sometimes by Gods grace a prayer is heard.

Dora J. Arod quote #106 from I Had a Dream About You

I had a dream about you. You were crying and I couldnt tell if it was because you were sad or because youd been laughing too hard. So I decided to find out by telling you that Id just heard from the cops and your mother had been murdered. Before I got to the punch line you started sobbing in a different manner so I realized youd been laughing earlier. By that time the mood had changed and I decided it best not to deliver the punch line after all. So I sat down next to you and put my arm around you and tried to console you for your perceived loss.
