"Father! Can I box him? Please!..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.”

“We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness. We need others physically, emotionally, and intellectually. We need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves.”

“To love at all is to be vulnerable.”

“Dictators can be deterred, they can be crushed - but they can never be appeased.”

“Of course, violence will not end with our combat mission. Extremists will continue to set off bombs, attack Iraqi civilians and try to spark sectarian strife. But ultimately, these terrorists will fail to achieve their goals.”

“We proceeded systematically, village by village and we destroyed the houses, filled up the wells, blew down the towers, cut down the shady trees, burned the crops and broke the reservoirs in punitive devastation.”

“Man should forget his anger before he lies down to sleep.”

“So avoid using the word 'very' because it's lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won't do in your essays.What you do today is important, because you are sacrificing a day of your life for it.Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.”

“Men lose their tempers in defending their taste.”
