"Once you were a child. Once you..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“Nothing is very strong: strong enough to steal away a man's best years not in sweet sins but in a dreary flickering of the mind over it knows not what and knows not why, in the gratification of curiosities so feeble that the man is only half aware of them, in drumming of fingers and kicking of heels, in whistling tunes that he does not like, or in the long, dim labyrinth of reveries that have not even lust or ambition to give them a relish, but which, once chance association has started them, the creature is took weak and fuddled to shake off.”

“Whenever you are fed up with life, start writing: ink is the great cure for all human ills, as I have found out long ago.”

“The rule of the universe is that others can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves, and one can paddle every canoe except one's own.”

“Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.”

“Philosophy rests on a proposition that whatever is is right. Preaching begins by assuming that whatever is is wrong.”

“'Twas but my tongue, 'twas not my soul that swore.”

“The variety of opinions leads to questions. Questions lead to truth.”

“Lucius Cassius ille quem populus Romanus verissimum et sapientissimum iudicem putabat identidem in causis quaerere solebat 'cui bono' fuisset. The famous Lucius Cassius, whom the Roman people used to regard as a very honest and wise judge, was in the habit of asking, time and again, 'To whose benefit?”

“I am myself by inclination an investigator.”
