"You can't get a cup of tea..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“Poetry most often communicates emotions, not directly, but by creating imaginatively the grounds for those emotions. It therefore communicates something more than the emotion; only by means of that something more does it communicate the emotion at all.”

“Edmund, give a special goodbye to Trumpkin for me. He's been a brick.”

“Autumn is really the best of the seasons”

“I'm a big 'Goosebumps' fan - 'Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes.' My favorites are the pick-your-own-death ones.”

“Every one being allowed to learn to read, ruineth in the long run not only writing but also thinking.”

“the greatest luxury I know is sitting up reading in bed.”

“We need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.”

“Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them. It depends on the mood of the man, whether he shall see the sunset or the fine poem. There are always sunsets, and there is always genius; but only a few hours so serene that we can relish nature or criticism. The more or less depends on structure or temperament. Temperament is the iron wire on which the beads are strung. Of what use is fortune or talent to a cold and defective store?”

“Millions of students now, in all the schools of America, are reading science fiction and especially, thank God, 'The Martian Chronicles.'”
