How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? No, a woman’s function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. (What’s Wrong with the World)

More quotes by John Eldredge
We don't see clearly because we don't see with the eyes of our heart.
John Eldredge
Desire, both the whispers and the shouts, is the map we have been given to find the only life worth living.
John Eldredge
A man must have a battle to fight, a great mission to his life that involves and yet transcends even home and family.
John Eldredge
He is the playfulness of creation, scandal and utter goodness, the generosity of the ocean and the ferocity of a thunderstorm he is cunning as a snake and gentle as a whisper the gladness of sunshine and the humility of a thirty-mile walk by foot on a dirt road.
John Eldredge
Henri Nouwen once asked Mother Teresa for spiritual direction. Spend one hour each day in adoration of your Lord, she said, and never do anything you know is wrong. Follow this and you'll be fine.
John Eldredge
Christianity has basically communicated to men that the reason God put you on this Earth is to be a good boy. Mind your manners, be a nice guy. That's soul killing!
John Eldredge
If only Jesus' followers shared his personality. That one shift alone would correct so many of the ridiculous and horrifying things that pass for popular Christianity.
John Eldredge
Adventure, with all its requisite danger and wildness, is a deeply spiritual longing written into the soul of man.
John Eldredge
God endowed you with a glory when he created you, a glory so deep and mythic that all creation pales in comparison.
John Eldredge
To find God, you must look with all your heart. To remain present to God, you must remain present to your heart. To hear his voice, you must listen with all your heart. To love him, you must love with all your heart. You cannot be the person God meant you to be, and you cannot live the life he meant you to live, unless you live from the heart.
John Eldredge
Every man is a warrior inside. But the choice to fight is his own.
John Eldredge
The meaning of our lives is revealed through experiences that at first seem at odds with each other--moments we wish would never end and moments we wish had never begun.
John Eldredge
To be in theater you have to be a kind of psychologist, for you're always trying to understand character and motives.
John Eldredge
It takes great courage to be vulnerable. It takes enormous strength to be a real woman.
John Eldredge
Every boy, in his journey to become a man, takes an arrow in the center of his heart, in the place of his strength. Because the wound is rarely discussed and even more rarely healed, every man carries a wound. And the wound is nearly always given by his father.
John Eldredge
Moses does not encounter the living God at the mall. He finds Him (or is found by Him) somewhere out in the deserts of Sinai, a long way from the comforts of Egypt... Where did the great prophet Elijah go to recover his strength? To the wild. As did John the Baptist, and his cousin, Jesus, Who is led by the Spirit into the wilderness.
John Eldredge
Mary had Joseph. Esther had Mordecai. Ruth had Boaz. We will not become the women God intends us to be without the guidance, counsel, wisdom, strength, and love of good men in our lives.
John Eldredge
Am I really a man? Have I got what it takeswhen it counts?
John Eldredge
We don't live in the Garden. We live far from Eden. Every life is full of heartaches. Every life, frankly, is unspeakably sad.
John Eldredge
The most dangerous man on earth is the man who has reckoned with his own death. All men die few men ever really live.
John Eldredge
