C. S. Lewis

"A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading."

"Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities."

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."

"Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become."

"Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see."

"I gave in, and admitted that God was God."
