Food for thought

“No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good… Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is.” -C.S. Lewis

"I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia." — C.S. Lewis (The Silver Chair, The Chronicles of Narnia)

"Appreciative love gazes and holds its breath and is silent, rejoices that such a wonder should exist even if not for him, will not be wholly dejected by losing her, would rather have it so than never to have seen her at all." — C.S. Lewis (The Four Loves)

"The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back." — C.S. Lewis (Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold)

"We meet no ordinary people in our lives." — C.S. Lewis
