"I thought I could describe a state;..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“But I remember more dearly autumn afternoons in bottoms that lay intensely silent under old great trees”

“What we learn from experience depends on the kind of philosophy we bring to experience.”

“But in general, take my advice, when you meet anything that is going to be Human and isn’t yet, or used to be Human once and isn’t now, or ought to be Human and isn’t, you keep your eyes on it and feel for your hatchet.”

“Out-worn heart, in a time out-worn,Come clear of the nets of wrong and right;Laugh, heart, again in the grey twilight,Sigh, heart, again in the dew of the morn.”

“I was so humiliated, hurt, spurned, offended, angry, sorry--I cannot hit upon the right name for the smart--God knows what its name was--that tears started to my eyes.”

“We are the sons of Sorrow; we are the poets and the prophets and the musicians.”

“Great griefs medicine the less.”

“Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak knits up the o-er wrought heart and bids it break.”

“It's the great mystery of human life that old grief passes gradually into quiet tender joy.”
