Christian Wiman Quotes

The Temptation Is To Make An Idol Of Our Own Experience, To Assume Our Pain Is More Singular Than It Is. Experience Means Nothing If It Does Not Mean Beyond Itself: We Mean Nothing Unless And Until Our Hard-won Meanings Are Internalized And Catalyzed Within The Lives Of Others. There Is Something I Am Meant To See, Something For Which My Own Situation And Suffering Are The Lens, But The Cost Of Such Seeing - I Am Just Beginning To Realize - May Very Well Be Any Final Clarity Or Perspective On My Own Life, My Own Faith. That Would Not Be A Bad Fate, To Burn Up Like The Booster Engine That Falls Away From The Throttling Rocket, Lighting A Little Dark As I Go.
