C. S. Lewis
Image
I thought I could describe a state make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, however, turns out to be not a state, but a process. It needs not a map, but a history, and if I don't stop writing that history at some quite arbitrary point, there's no reason why I should ever stop.

C. S. Lewis
Image

C. S. Lewis
Image
We must learn by experience to avoid either trains of thought or social situations which for us (not necessarily for everyone) lead to temptations.
