"The heart never takes the place of..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

“What does not satisfy when we find it, was not the thing we were desiring.”

“They stormed and jeered at one another in long meaningless words of about twenty syllables each.”

“Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us.”

“The light dove, cleaving the air in her free flight, and feeling its resistance, might imagine that its flight would be still easier in empty space.”

“[R]eason is... given to us as a practical faculty, that is, as one that influences the will.”

“It is so much easier to be enthusiastic than to reason!”

“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before--more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.”

“But reason always cuts a poor figure beside sentiment; the one being essentially restricted, like everything that is positive, while the other is infinite.”
