C.S. Lewis
“If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Courage is found in unlikely places.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

Wendell Berry
“When I rise up
let me rise up joyful
like a bird.

When I fall
let me fall without regret
like a leaf.”
Wendell Berry, The Mad Farmer Poems

J.R.R. Tolkien
“I wish I had never seen the Ring! Why did it come to me? Why was I chosen?’ ‘Such questions cannot be answered,’ said Gandalf. ‘You may be sure that it was not for any merit that others do not possess: not for power or wisdom, at any rate. But you have been chosen, and you must therefore use such strength and heart and wits as you have.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

C.S. Lewis
“We can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
