"Our experience is coloured through and through..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything.”

“Oh, Adam’s sons, how cleverly you defend yourselves against all that might do you good!”

“[S]omething inside us, the feeling of resentment, the feeling that wants to get one's own back, must be simply killed. I do not mean that anyone can decide this moment that he will never feel it anymore. That is not how things happen. I mean that every time it bobs its head up, day after day, year after year, all our lives long, we must hit it on the head. It is hard work, but the attempt is not impossible.”

“He is not a true man of science who does not bring some sympathy to his studies, and expect to learn something by behavior as well as by application. It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws. The study of geometry is a petty and idle exercise of the mind, if it is applied to no larger system than the starry one. Mathematics should be mixed not only with physics but with ethics; that is mixed mathematics. The fact which interests us most is the life of the naturalist. The purest science is still biographical.”

“My eyes have seen much, but they are not weary. My ears have heard much, but they thirst for more.”

“It's your eyes. They're ... more serious than they used to be. Like they've seen things they shouldn't have.”

“I don't like seeing myself on television. I don't like it.”

“Nothing you see on the Internet is mine unless it comes from one of my albums, books, HBO specials, or appeared on my website.”

“The newspaperman has become a walking plague. He spreads the contagion of lies and calumnies.”
