"What began the change was the very..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“Most people spend most of their lives doing neither what they want to be doing nor what they ought to be doing.”

“Our problem with desire is that we want too little.”

“Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.”

“Writing is supposed to be difficult, agonizing, a dreadful exercise, a terrible occupation.”

“I told that girl, in the kindest, gentlest way, that I could not consent to deliver judgment upon any one's manuscript, because an individual's verdict was worthless. It might underrate a work of high merit and lose it to the world, or it might overrate a trashy production and so open the way for its infliction upon the world. I said that the great public was the only tribunal competent to sit in judgment upon a literary effort, and therefore it must be best to lay it before that tribunal in the outset, since in the end it must stand or fall by that mighty court's decision any way.”

“Even if you have nothing to write, write and say so.”

“The stars are distant and unobtrusive, but bright and enduring as our fairest and most memorable experiences.”

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

“Most people don't need to be taught, they need only to be reminded”
