I have come, said a deep voice behind them. They turned and saw the Lion himself, so bright and real and strong that everything else began at once to look pale and shadowy compared with him.

The truth is, of course, that what one regards as interruptions are precisely one's life.
C. S. Lewis
Image
One can regard the moral law as an illusion, and so cut himself off from the common ground of humanity.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Do I think well of myself, think myself a nice chap? WEll, I am afraid I sometimes do (and those are, no doubt, my worst moments).
