“Just because you don't understand it
doesn't mean it isn't so”
― Lemony Snicket

“Like a silence spreading over a room full of people, like an infinitesimal coolness on a sultry day, like a passing memory of some long-forgotten sound or scent, like all that is stillest and smallest and most hard to seize in nature, Oyarsa passed between his subjects and drew near and came to rest, not ten yards away from Ransom in the centre of Meldilorn.”
― C.S. Lewis, Out of the Silent Planet

“Antilochus! You're the most appalling driver in the world! Go to hell!”
― Homer, The Iliad

“My name is Ransom, if that is what you mean. And—” “By Jove,” said the slender man, “not Ransom who used to be at Wedenshaw?” “I was at school at Wedenshaw,” said Ransom. “I thought I knew you as soon as you spoke,” said the slender man. “I’m Devine. Don’t you remember me?” “Of course. I should think I do!” said Ransom as the two men shook hands with the rather labored cordiality which is traditional in such meetings. In actual fact Ransom had disliked Devine at school as much as anyone he could remember.”
― C.S. Lewis, Out of the Silent Planet
