"No one can say 'He jests at..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“The real job of every moral teacher is to keep bringing us back to the simple principles, which we're so anxious not to see.”

“Oh Trees, Trees, Trees...wake. Don't you remember it? Don't you remember me? Dryads and hamadryads, come out, come [out] to me.”

“We must sometimes get away from the Authorized Version, if for no other reason, simply because it is so beautiful and so solemn. Beauty exalts, but beauty also lulls. Early associations endear, but they also confuse. Through that beautiful solemnity, the transporting or horrifying realities of which the Book tells may come to us blunted and disarmed, and we may only sigh with tranquil veneration when we ought to be burning with shame, or struck dumb with terror, or carried out of ourselves by ravishing hopes and adorations.”

“I'm a big believer in anesthesia. I think it should be used for every medical procedure, indlucing routine physicals.”

“The heavy armor becomes the light dress of childhood; the pain is brief, the joy unending.”

“Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.”

“To perceive is to suffer.”

“Thus the will to power strives towards oppositions, towards displeasure. There is a will to suffering at the foundation of all organic life (contrary to "happiness" as "goal").”

“If there is a worse place than Hell, I am in it.”
