"Power to translate is the test of..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“Each new power won by man is a power over man as well. Each advance leaves him weaker as well as stronger.”

“When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.”

“Isn't it funny the way some combinations of words can give you--almost apart from their meaning--a thrill like music?”

“On those days when I can spend a few hours getting some understanding, I feel fulfilled. I feel as if I have made good use of my time.”

“To look at a thing is very different from seeing it.”

“There isnt always an explanation for everything.”

“If I had more time, I would have written less.”

“Do things sound better in your head before you say them, or do you even run them through there first?”

“Child, to say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you really mean; that's the whole art and joy of words.”
