“From the start, our environment shapes who we are. We don't always see it, but we are similarly influenced by what the people around us believe.”
C.B. Lansdell, Far Removed

“When you start thinking everyone is trying to steal from you, you deprive yourself of so much.”
C.B. Lansdell, The Tidelings of Dras Sayve: A Novelette

“Some people make their own opportunities. Others need someone to help them know what they want.”
C.B. Lansdell, The Tidelings of Dras Sayve: A Novelette

“What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.”
C.S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”
C.S. Lewis

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“The world is full enough of hurts and mischances without wars to multiply them.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
tags: war

“It was Sam's first view of a battle of Men against Men, and he did not like it much. He was glad that he could not see the dead face. He wondered what the man's name was and where he came from; and if he was really evil of heart, or what lies or threats had led him on the long march from his home; and if he would rather have stayed there in peace.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
