  • Redemption Quote #1

    .[T]he night terrors were no match for the glory of waking up to a new day in the Land of Israel. In every conscious moment, Yael was aware that she was living through times that would form the legends and myths of future generations. Just as her generation told and retold the story of the Exodus from Egypt—the event that changed the nature of Israel forever—so would her people hundreds of years from now tell of the end of the Great Exile and the return to this land. The wonder of it touched everything around her, casting a golden glow over even the most mundane events. Nothing seemed impossible, and nothing seemed entirely real.

    Yael Shahar

  • Redemption Quote #2

    [On Schopenhauer in Black and White] Schopenhauer's views of love are flawed. Love can't be merely an illusion of the mind to aid in procreation, but the path to redemption for an otherwise violently selfish species. Past human greatness has proven that when challenged, love can overpower impulsive instinct, and in essence, the vilest aspects of our nature.

    Tiffany Madison

  • Redemption Quote #3

    A condition of complete simplicity
    (Costing not less than everything)

    T.S. Eliot

  • Redemption Quote #4

    A rock was sticking out of the water, jagged and pointed, covered with moss--a remnant of the Ice Age. It had withstood the rains, the snows, the frost, the heat. It was afraid of no one. It did not need redemption, it had already been redeemed.

    Isaac Bashevis Singer

  • Redemption Quote #5

    Adoption is a beautiful picture of redemption. It is the Gospel in my living room.

    Katie J. Davis

  • Redemption Quote #6

    All of us have a shadow man dogging our steps that we cannot shake, no matter how hard we try. He reminds us at our best that we are not as good as we appear to be; he bites at our heel with guilt when we find ourselves behaving far beneath our own expectations. That is the human condition. That is why we yearn so for redemption.

    Pamela Kay Hawkins

  • Redemption Quote #7

    All roads out of hell lead home.

    Shannon L. Alder

  • Redemption Quote #8

    all the woods and strands of Naples re-echoed with — 'O! giorno felíce! O! giorno felíce!' 'You see,' said Paulo, when they had departed, and he came to himself again, “you see how people get through their misfortunes, if they have but a heart to bear up against them, and do nothing that can lie on their conscience afterwards; and how suddenly one comes to be happy, just when one is beginning to think one never is to be happy again!

    Ann Radcliffe

  • Redemption Quote #9

    Anchor Your Stories in Redemptive Themes So We Are Moved to Live Up to Them: Rather than making yourself the victim or the hero in the stories you tell, describe a daunting time of loss, crisis, or criticism or where you made a mistake or acted badly, yet you were eventually able to learn from it. Such stories show vulnerability and a desire to grow and live fully rather than in fear. Then that facet of you can be the place where others can positively and productively connect with you, hard-earned strengths firmly attached together. You can support each other in reinforcing redemptive characterizations and action.

    Kare Anderson

  • Redemption Quote #10

    And I wish to thank you as well, Royce.

    He was puzzled. For what?

    For reminding me that anyone, no matter what they've done, can find redemption if they seek it.

    Michael J. Sullivan

  • Redemption Quote #11

    And if redemption was self-serving, coming as it did ribbon-tied to what he wanted most in life? For once, Akiva's shame wouldn't rise to the bait. He wanted what he'd always wanted, and he'd better just say it, his own worries and fears be damned.

    Laini Taylor

  • Redemption Quote #12

    And once their imaginations are liberated, they begin glimpse the grand interconnectedness of all things. Eternity begins to peek out from behind the everyday things and they see the trappings of any earthly moment as the stage and props for Heaven to reveal itself. There is now nothing ordinary. Everything is being used and spun out for His vast scheme and in His eternal economy, nothing is wasted. Suddenly, all the myriad moments and minutiae of a lifetime show their orchestration —there was nothing that did not lead to this! They look over all their time to find that His redemption has always been rushing, swooping, swerving through their experience, racing to and fro to intervene and infuse Grace.

    Geoffrey Wood

  • Redemption Quote #13

    And the best, most redeeming, exciting thing I can imagine, from the smashed-up, broken place I've been, is that something beautiful could blossom out of the wreckage... This is what I know: God can make something beautiful out of anything, out of darkness and trash and broken bones. He can shine light into even the blackest night, and he leaves glimpses of hope all around us.

    Shauna Niequist

  • Redemption Quote #14

    And we will mess up. We will hold on when we should have let go. We will walk away when we should have run. We will go when we should have stayed and we will hurt others when we should have loved. But God forgives, He forgets, and best of all, He restores.

    Kristen McNulty

  • Redemption Quote #15

    And when Jesus declared, 'It is finished,' He meant it. God’s punishment for our sin was paid for, permanently settled, finished— 100 percent. If you have responded in faith to God’s free pardon through Jesus, then God will never punish you for your sin. It’s finished. No more. If you screw up today or tomorrow (which you will), it’s already been paid for through Jesus. 'There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,' Paul said (Rom. 8: 1). None. God will not and cannot condemn you after He has already condemned Jesus for you. It’s impossible. God will never be angry with you since His anger was poured out on Jesus. All of it. One hundred percent.

    Anyone capable of love is capable of being saved.

    Caroline Forbes

  • Redemption Quote #17

    Are we always our mistakes? Does anything we do heal them?

    Alexandra Duncan

  • Redemption Quote #18

    As a soul, you have the freedom – and earned responsibility – to transpose your personal process of evolution, to manifest your greatest talents and vision, into the work that matters to you most as a means to personal redemption.

    Darrell Calkins

  • Redemption Quote #19

    As soon as Joe was done feeding Ira Kenby’s fucking dog, he was going to call social services again, and Casey would be taken to a home that would be more appropriate for a runaway. So really, Joe would say, they owed much of their lives together to a senile old man and a dog tortured by hunger to the point it didn’t know better. (Casey would always reply that they would have met again, because there was just no way they could have lived without each other, but Joe’s faith didn’t run that deep. Casey would say that was because Joe didn’t have a Josiah Daniels in his life, and Joe would shake his head and walk off, but that was later in their story.)

    Amy Lane

  • Redemption Quote #20

    As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing (2 Corinthians 6:10).

    Sorrow was beautiful, but her beauty was the beauty of the moonlight shining through the leafy branches of the trees in the wood, and making little pools of silver here and there on the soft green moss below. When Sorrow sang, her notes were like the low sweet call of the nightingale, and in her eyes was the unexpectant gaze of one who has ceased to look for coming gladness. She could weep in tender sympathy with those who weep, but to rejoice with those who rejoice was unknown to her.

    Joy was beautiful, too, but his was the radiant beauty of the summer morning. His eyes still held the glad laughter of childhood, and his hair had the glint of the sunshine's kiss. When Joy sang his voice soared upward as the lark's, and his step was the step of a conqueror who has never known defeat. He could rejoice with all who rejoice, but to weep with those who weep was unknown to him.

    But we can never be united, said Sorrow wistfully. No, never. And Joy's eyes shadowed as he spoke. My path lies through the sunlit meadows, the sweetest roses bloom for my gathering, and the blackbirds and thrushes await my coming to pour forth their most joyous lays.

    My path, said Sorrow, turning slowly away, leads through the darkening woods, with moon-flowers only shall my hands be filled. Yet the sweetest of all earth-songs--the love song of the night--shall be mine; farewell, Joy, farewell.

    Even as she spoke they became conscious of a form standing beside them; dimly seen, but of a Kingly Presence, and a great and holy awe stole over them as they sank on their knees before Him.

    I see Him as the King of Joy, whispered Sorrow, for on His Head are many crowns, and the nailprints in His hands and feet are the scars of a great victory. Before Him all my sorrow is melting away into deathless love and gladness, and I give myself to Him forever.

    Nay, Sorrow, said Joy softly, but I see Him as the King of Sorrow, and the crown on His head is a crown of thorns, and the nailprints in His hands and feet are the scars of a great agony. I, too, give myself to Him forever, for sorrow with Him must be sweeter than any joy that I have known.

    Then we are one in Him, they cried in gladness, for none but He could unite Joy and Sorrow. Hand in hand they passed out into the world to follow Him through storm and sunshine, in the bleakness of winter cold and the warmth of summer gladness, as sorrowful yet always rejoicing.

    Should Sorrow lay her hand upon thy shoulder,
    And walk with thee in silence on life's way,
    While Joy, thy bright companion once, grown colder,
    Becomes to thee more distant day by day?
    Shrink not from the companionship of Sorrow,
    She is the messenger of God to thee;
    And thou wilt thank Him in His great tomorrow
    For what thou knowest not now, thou then shalt see;
    She is God's angel, clad in weeds of night,
    With 'whom we walk by faith and not by sight.

    Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

  • Redemption Quote #21

    At her words, words of forgiveness from Rose, an honest and just woman, something broke inside of Wince. His tears began to flow. Age seemed to drift from his face like misty ghosts from a morning field. Katie lifted his chin and, holding back her own tears, looked into his eyes. Thank you, Wince.

    Eve placed her free hand on his shoulder. May we hold her now?

    Wince nodded and gently released the baby into the waiting arms of her sisters.

    You did the right thing, Wince. Rose gave Wince a hug. And you can help us bury her after Wilson and the Tar Ponds City Police see if they can find anybody to lay charges against after all this time.

    Beatrice Rose Roberts

  • Redemption Quote #22

    At times redemption can only be sought through isolation.

    Chirag Tulsiani

  • Redemption Quote #23

    Atheism rises above creeds and puts Humanity upon one plane.
    There can be no 'chosen people' in the Atheist philosophy.
    There are no bended knees in Atheism;
    No supplications, no prayers;
    No sacrificial redemptions;
    No 'divine' revelations;
    No washing in the blood of the lamb;
    No crusades, no massacres, no holy wars;
    No heaven, no hell, no purgatory;
    No silly rewards and no vindictive punishments;
    No christs, and no saviors;
    No devils, no ghosts and no gods.

    Joseph Lewis

  • Redemption Quote #24

    Beauty is transformed over time, and not without destruction.

    Terry Tempest Williams

  • Redemption Quote #25

    Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.

    Bob Dylan

  • Redemption Quote #26

    Believing in the possibility of resurrection and eternal life, Christians seek ‘redemption’ through moral behaviour. But moral behaviour does not, in itself, assuage fear of death, on the contrary, when people come to view themselves as marred by Sin, for instance because they are taught to believe that their most intimate feelings are sinful, this may increase significantly their anxiety about dying.

    Daniel Waterman

  • Redemption Quote #27

    Brad Green, almost overnight, became the poster boy for the common Wall Street tale - proving once again that greed, most definitely, kills. Giving away about 99% of his fortune was also front page news, but Green barely blinked at having to scrape by with only $200 million. The government seized all five of his homes, his three boats, two jets, a helicopter, 14 cars, and all of his assets except the $200 million he stashed for a rainy day in an offshore bank account.

    Phil Wohl

  • Redemption Quote #28

    Brokenness to redemption, where mercy and grace kiss both sides of our face.
    Brokenness where we are split open.
    Redemption where God knits us back together.
    Mercy when we don't get the punishment we do deserve.
    Grace when we get the lavish love gifts we don't deserve.
    So here we are.

    Lysa TerKeurst

  • Redemption Quote #29

    But he also knew this centurion, this man of honour, would change her…by giving her love…and love was the most powerful force in the universe.

    Alan Kinross

  • Redemption Quote #30

    But when, through the open door of the cross and the name and power of Jesus Christ, I commend myself to the Father's heart, then God cancels all my past, accepts all my present, swears His holy name for my future and the love of God take me over. Then fear goes out of my heart, because love has come in.

    A.W. Tozer
