Favorite Meaningfulness Quotes

1. "Why are we reading, if not in hope of beauty laid bare, life heightened and its deepest mystery probed? Can the writer isolate and vivify all in experience that most deeply engages our intellects and our heats? Can the writer renew our hope for literary forms?

Author: Annie Dillard

Author: Samuel P. Oliner

Logos is deeper than logic."
Author: Viktor E. Frankl

Today's Quote

Repentance must dig the foundations, but holiness shall erect the structure, and bring forth the top-stone.

Repentance and desires after holiness never can be separated."
Author: Charles H. Spurgeon
