“Had I been blessed with even limited access to my own mind there would have been no reason to write. I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.”

“You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.

Wouldn't you then first discover how much you really trusted it?”
― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

“Make a place available to the eyes, and in certain ways it is no longer available to the imagination.”
― Joan Didion, Let Me Tell You What I Mean

“What do people mean when they say, 'I am not afraid of God because I know He is good'? Have they never even been to a dentist?”
― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed
