“We need more theology, nuance, grace, compassion, and understanding in our churches, not less.”
― Ivan Mesa, Before You Lose Your Faith: Deconstructing Doubt in the Church

“Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality. There are mass emotions which heal the wound; but they destroy the privilege. In them our separate selves are pooled and we sink back into sub-individuality. But in 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, The Reading Life: The Joy of Seeing New Worlds Through Others' Eyes

“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

“Clearly one must read every good book at least once every ten years.”
― C.S. Lewis
