Quotes for tag "beautiful"

Sophie only likes to be in pictures
if she can turn her face away.
(She thinks she looks best like this.)
Perhaps it makes her feel coy or sophisticated.
We all have these kinds of ideas.
Once, only once, she looked right at me,
through the camera, and into my eyes.
I could tell she was sorry afterwards.
Since then, though, I have waited with child-like faith to catch her looking.
She needs to know that she is beautiful,
that her face (her whole face) is beautiful.
I tell her almost every day.
But no one can make Sophie listen.
She just laughs
and turns her head away.

"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."

~~(Carl) Frederick Buechner (b. 1926), American writer, author, "The Alphabet of Grace," "The Entrance to Porlock"
