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.
(Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold, 1956)
C. S. Lewis
Select C. S. Lewis Quotations |
Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn. My God, do you learn. Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.
