"How incessant and great are the ills..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“We do not see into men’s hearts. We cannot judge, and are indeed forbidden to judge.”

“The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.”

“A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is alright. This is common sense really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not well you are sleeping.”

“You can get old pretty young if you don'ttake care of yourself.”

“The afternoon of a human life must have a significance of its own, and cannot be merely a pitiful appendage to life's morning.”

“Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children.”

“I hope not to define myself by suffering.”

“I swear to you, sirs, that excessive consciousness is a disease--a genuine, absolute disease.”

“Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible; Shakespeare's plays, for instance, seem to hang there complete by themselves. But when the web is pulled askew, hooked up at the edge, torn in the middle, one remembers that these webs are not spun in midair by incorporeal creatures, but are the work of suffering human beings, and are attached to the grossly material things, like health and money and the houses we live in.”
