“If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be; if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all”
― C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock: Essays on Theology and Ethics

“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”
― Henry David Thoreau

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses

“Solitude is fine but you need someone to tell that solitude is fine.”
― Honoré de Balzac
