“People do not seem to realise that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“If, of three friends (A, B, and C), A should die, then B loses not only A but "A's part in С," while C loses not only A but "A's part in B." In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets... Hence true Friendship is the least jealous of loves. Two friends delight to be joined by a third, and three by a fourth, if only the newcomer is qualified to become a real friend. They can then say, as the blessed souls say in Dante, "Here comes one who will augment our loves." For in this love "to divide is not to take away.”
― CS Lewis

“The sound of the rain seemed louder in the study, as if the sky were actually lower there.”

“Each time he plunged the spoon into the stew, he looked as if he might lost it in the bowl”
