Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.
C.S. Lewis (via laceofpearls)(Source: quote-book, via burdge)
All that we call human history - money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery - is the long, terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.
C.S. Lewis (via catholicanswers)(Source: askthecatholic)
Those of us who have been true readers all our life seldom fully realise the enormous extension of our being which we owe to authors. We realise it best when we talk with an unliterary friend. He may be full of goodness and good sense but he inhabits a tiny world. In it, we should be suffocated. The man who is contented to be only himself, and therefore less a self, is in prison.
