Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking, 1973 quotes
"Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back--in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you."
Take this quote mobile"Envy is the consuming desire to have everybody else as unsuccessful as you are."
"Lust is the craving for salt of a person who is dying of thirst."
"Despair has been called the unforgivable sin--not presumably because God refuses to forgive it but because it despairs of the possibility of being forgiven."
