Frederick Buechner Quotes
The Storyteller's Claim, I Believe, Is That Life Has Meaning - That The Things That Happen To People Happen Not Just By Accident Like Leaves Being Blown Off A Tree By The Wind But That There Is Order And Purpose Deep Down Behind Them Or Inside Them And That They Are Leading Us Not Just Anywhere But Somewhere. The Power Of Stories Is That They Are Telling Us That Life Adds Up Somehow, That Life Itself Is Like A Story ... It Makes Us Listen To The Storyteller With Great Intensity Because In This Way All His Stories Are About Us And Because It Is Always Possible That He May Give Us Some Clue As To What The Meaning Of Our Lives Is.
