“The two things that came out clearly were the sense of reality in the background and the mythical value: the essence of myth being that it should have no taint of allegory to the maker and yet should suggest incipient allegories to the reader.[C.S. Lewis writes to J.R.R. Tolkien on December 7, 1929]”

“Into an allegory a man can put only what he already knows; in a myth he puts what he does not yet know and could not come by in any other way.”

“He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.~C.S. Lewis~”

“The most intense joy, lies not in the having, but in the desire,Delight that never fades, bliss that is eternal,Is only your, when what you most desire, is just out of reach...Anthony Hopkins, from the movie Shadowlands, where he plays C.S. Lewis”

“Life is too deep for words, so don't try to describe it, just live it.Actually this quote doesn't sound like C.S. Lewis at all. Can anyone provide a source?”

“I don't believe your theory that "readers never notice that sort of thing." I'm sure I should.”

“That thing is Freedom: the gift whereby ye most resemble your Maker and are yourselves part of eternal reality.”
