Henri Nouwen Quotes

In solitude we become aware that our worth is not the same as our usefulness Picture Quote #1
Prayer is not a pious decoration of life but the breath of human existence Picture Quote #1
I have found it very important... to let go of my wishes and start hoping Picture Quote #1
The farther the outward journey takes you, the deeper the inward journey must be Picture Quote #1
Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day Picture Quote #1

It is in solitude that we discover that being is more important than having and that we are worth more than the results of our efforts. In solitude we discover that our life is not a possession to be defended but a gift to be shared Picture Quote #1
The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it Picture Quote #1
Community is first of all a quality of the heart. It grows from the spiritual knowledge that we are alive not for ourselves but for one another Picture Quote #1
Living in a community with very wounded people, I came to see that I had lived most of my life as a tightrope artist trying to walk on a high, thin cable from one tower to the other, always waiting for the applause when I had not fallen off and broken my leg Picture Quote #1
The journey from teaching about love to allowing myself to be loved proved much longer than I realised Picture Quote #1
Somewhere we know that without silence words lose their meaning, that without listening speaking no longer heals, that without distance closeness cannot cure Picture Quote #1

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares Picture Quote #1
The deepest satisfaction of writing is precisely that it opens up new spaces within us of which we were not aware before we started to write. To write is to embark on a journey whose final destination we do not know Picture Quote #1
... real care means the willingness to help each other in making our brokenness into the gateway to joy Picture Quote #1
Living a spiritual life requires a change of heart, a conversion. Such a conversion may be marked by a sudden inner change, or it can take place through a long, quiet process of transformation. But it always involves an inner experience of oneness Picture Quote #1
The dance of life finds its beginnings in grief.... Here a completely new way of living is revealed. It is the way in which pain can be embraced, not out of a desire to suffer, but in the knowledge that something new will be born in the pain Picture Quote #1
To live a spiritual life we must first find the courage to enter into the desert of loneliness and to change it by gentle and persistent efforts into a garden of solitude Picture Quote #1

Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into the places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human Picture Quote #1
