"A world of automata – of creatures..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“Courtship is the time for sowing those seeds which will grow up ten years into domestic hatred.”

“The State exists simply to promote and to protect the ordinary happiness of human beings in this life. A husband and wife chatting over a fire, a couple of friends having a game of darts in a pub, a man reading a book in his own room or digging in his own garden-that is what the State is there for. And unless they are helping to increase and prolong and protect such moments, all the laws, parliaments, armies, courts, police, economics, etc., are simply a waste of time.”

“[Something] does not rise to the dignity of error.”

“The mission of men there seems to be, like so many busy demons, to drive the forest all out of the country, from every solitary beaver swamp and mountain-side, as soon as possible.”

“If you don't love your fellow man, women, person, then you don't have anything. If you don't treat your neighbor as you would want to be treated that to me is the fundamental message.”

“Humankind differs from the animals only by a little and most people throw that away.”

“The hatred of luxury is not an intelligent hatred. It implies a hatred of arts.”

“The value of an idea lies in the using of it.”

“I am ashamed of my emptiness," said the Word to the Work. "I know how poor I am when I see you," said the Work to the Word.”
