“Gawayne, bewildered, looked the other way,
And wondered what she meant; for in that day
The ready wit of man was under muzzle,
And woman's heart was still an unsolved puzzle;
And Gawayne, though in valor next to none,
Wished that her heart had been a tenderer one.
His sword was out for any foe on earth,
And yet to face death for a lady's mirth
Seemed scarce worth while. What honor bade, he'd do,
But would have liked to see a tear or two.”
― Charlton Miner Lewis, Gawayne And The Green Knight

“The good life for man is the life spent in seeking for the good life for man”
― Alasdair Macintyre, After Virtue

“[I]n reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.”
― C.S. Lewis, An Experiment in Criticism

“Those of us who have been true readers all our life seldom fully realise the enormous extension of our being which we owe to authors.”
― C.S. Lewis, An Experiment in Criticism (Canto) by C. S. Lewis
