"An obligation to feel can freeze feelings...." - Quote by C S Lewis

“Your patient has become humble; have you drawn his attention to the fact? All virtues are less formidable to us once the man is aware that he has them, but this is specially true of humility.”

“You have no idea what an appetite it gives one, being executed.”

“Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.”

“Creativity starts with humanity when were being human we feel - joys, sadness, when we're sick, when we're nervous”

“There is no mode of action, no form of emotion, that we do not share with the lower animals. It is only by language that we rise above them.”

“Love will fly if held too lightly Love will die if held too tightly . . .”

“Life is better lived than conceptualized. — This writing can be less demanding should I allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I’ve come to understand that life is best to be lived — not to be conceptualized. If you have to think, you still do not understand.”

“Please everyone without becoming a hypocrite or a coward.”

“You see I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across, not just to depict life, or criticize it, but to actually make it alive.”
