― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“A craftsman pulled a reed from the reedbed,
cut holes in it, and called it a human being.

Since then, it's been wailing a tender agony
of parting, never mentioning the skill
that gave it life as a flute”
― Rumi Jalalu'l-Din

“What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.”
― C. S. Lewis

“The world's flattery and hypocrisy is a sweet morsel:
eat less of it, for it is full of fire.
Its fire is hidden while its taste is manifest,
but its smoke becomes visible in the end. ”
― Rumi Jalalu'l-Din
