Stained Glass Window Quotes

“I consider myself a stained-glass window. And this is how I live my life. Closing no doors and covering no windows; I am the multi-colored glass with light filtering through me, in many different shades. Allowing light to shed and fall into many many hues. My job is not to direct anything, but only to filter into many colors. My answer is destiny and my guide is joy. And there you have me.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“The voice welling up out of this little man is terrific, Harry had noticed it at the house, but here, in the nearly empty church, echoing off the walnut knobs and memorial plaques and high arched rafters, beneath the tall central window of Jesus taking off into the sky with a pack of pastel apostles for a launching pad, the timbre is doubled, richer, with a rounded sorrowful something Rabbit hadn't noticed hitherto, gathering and pressing the straggle of guests into a congregation, subduing any fear that this ceremony might be a farce.

― John Updike, Rabbit Is Rich

“[...] for he would have betrayed the gospel. Then I watched as one of the Methodist congregations I attended built a $120,000 stained-glass window. Wesley would not have been happy. I stared at that window. I longed for Jesus to break out of it, to free himself, to come to rise from the dead… again.”

“As she climbed, Rosemary noticed a set of thin stained glass windows letting in light. But these were unlike the ones in the main hall. Each pane joined together to show a gathering of fairies, dancing around red cap mushrooms in a forest glade.
"Who made these?" she asked Mrs. Fairfax, who was behind Ellis on the stairs.
"The windows? Strangely enough, we don't know. They must have been commissioned when the house was built, but there's no trace of them in the records."
"It's odd to see fairies on a window like this, I thought you'd normally expect to see something religious," Ellis added.
"Indeed. Though it's said that the woods between Hallowvale and Osprey House--- the other smaller Georgian mansion nearby--- used to be teeming with the fair folk. So perhaps it's not that strange at all," Mrs. Fairfax said in a wistful tone.”
