There is a kind of happiness and wonder that makes you serio... - C.S. Lewis

"I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once."

"Child, to say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you really mean; that's the whole art and joy of words."

"Something of God... flows into us from the blue of the sky, the taste of honey, the delicious embrace of water whether cold or hot, and even from sleep itself."

"Our experience is coloured through and through by books and plays and the cinema, and it takes patience and skill to disentangle the things we have really learned from life for ourselves."

"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."
