Henri Nouwen Quotes About Quality

Quotes about: Quality

• However, 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.
  Community is the fruit of our capacity to make the interests of others more important than our own.
  The question, therefore, is not 'How can we make community?' but, 'How can we develop and nurture giving hearts?'

• One of the remarkable qualities of the story is that it creates space. We can dwell in a story, walk around, find our own place. The story confronts but does not oppress; the story inspires but does not manipulate. The story invites us to an encounter, a dialogue, a mutual sharing. As long as we have stories to tell to each other there is hope. As long as we can remind each other of the lives of men and women in whom the love of God becomes manifest, there is reason to move forward to new land in which new stories are hidden.
