Additional quotes by Frederick Buechner

Doubts are the ants in the pants of faith. They keep it awake and moving.

To confess your sins to God is not to tell God anything God doesn't already know. Until you confess them, however, they are the abyss between you. When you confess them, they become the Golden Gate Bridge.

Every person has one particular time in his life when he is more beautiful than he is ever going to be again. For some it is at seven, for others at seventeen or seventy, and as Laura Fleischman read out loud from Shakespeare, I remember thinking that for her it was probably just then.

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
