I've read pretty much every day of my life since I could read, and I've read many beautiful things. The most beautiful thing I've read is the book of John. Here are some random quotes from it I particularly enjoy:
1:5 "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it."
1:23 " . . . I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness . . ."
6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all."
7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”
10:31 The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?”
10:40 “He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their heart,
lest they see with their eyes,
and understand with their heart, and turn,
and I would heal them.”
Everything I else I love about it isn't conducive to quoting.
