“When the time comes to you at which you will be forced at last to utter the speech which has lain at the center of your soul for years, which you have, all that time, idiot-like, been saying over and over, you'll not talk about the joy of words.

How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?”
― C.S. Lewis, Till We Have Faces
