C.S. Lewis
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“We read to know we're not alone.”

Groucho Marx, The Essential Groucho: Writings For By And About Groucho Marx

C.S. Lewis
“A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.”

Jim Elliot
“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.”
Jim Elliot
