"And how could we endure to live..." - Quote by C S Lewis

““Who are you?” One who has waited long for you to speak.”

“It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between.”

“If minds are wholly dependent on brains and brains on biochemistry, and biochemistry (in the long run) on the meaningless flux of the atoms, I cannot understand how the thought of those minds should have any more significance than the sound of the wind in the trees.”

“History is the long, difficult and confused dream of Mankind.”

“The water of the fountain ran, the swift river ran, the day ran into evening, so much life in the city ran into death according to rule, time and tide waited for no man, the rats were sleeping close together in their dark holes again, the Fancy Ball was lighted up at supper, all things ran their course.”

“We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.”

“The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.”

“So as through a glass and darklyThe age long strife I seeWhere I fought in many guises,Many names - but always me.”

“Character develops itself in the stream of life.”
