Lewis CS & Norman

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird:  it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg.  We are like eggs at present.  And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary decent egg.  We must be hatched or go bad. -C.S. Lewis


We all want progress, but if you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road;  in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive. -Lewis

 

Experience:  that most brutal of teachers.  But you learn, my God do you learn. -Lewis


Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.  -it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.  -Lewis


I'm looking for the people who have always been there and belong to the places they live.  The others I do not wish to see. -Norman Lewis
