Frederick Buechner Quotes About Feelings

• Hagas lo que hagas con tu vida, consigas lo que consigas o dejes de conseguir, el gran don que tienes para dar al mundo es el don de ser tú mismo: tu forma de ver las cosas, de decirlas y de sentirlas, que no se parece a la de nadie más. Si faltara uno solo de vosotros, habría un lugar vacío en el gran festín de la vida que nadie más en toda la creación podría llenar.

• In the Christian sense, love is not primarily an emotion but an act of the will. When Jesus tells us to love our neighbors, he is not telling us to love them in the sense of responding to them with a cozy emotional feeling. You can as well produce a cozy emotional feeling as you can a cough or sneeze. On the contrary, he is telling us to love our neighbors in the sense of being willing to work for their well-being even if it means sacrificing our well-being to that end.

• Through the power that memory gives us of thinking, feeling, imagining our way back through time we can at long last finally finish with the past in the sense of removing its power to hurt us and other people and to stunt our growth as human beings.
