I’ve been sharing quotations on Facebook. These quotations typically come from my own reading/learning and therefore have significant meaning in my life (or at least to a life I aspire to). At the end of the week I’m recapping the quotations on my blog.

The paradox of hospitality is that it wants to create emptiness, not a fearful emptiness, but a friendly emptiness where strangers can enter and discover themselves as created free. . . .

I have a different perspective on booing.(Paraphrased comments from Bob Dylan about being booed at concerts after going electric. Source: No Direction Home – Martin Scorsese)
I thought what an awful thing is idealism when reality is so marvelous. – Marion Milner: A Life of One’s Own
I would like to learn, or remember, how to live. – Annie Dillard: Teaching a Stone to Talk
The truth knocks on the door and you say, “Go away, I’m looking for the truth,” and so it goes away. Puzzling. – Robert Pirsig: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
