C. S. Lewis
Provided that any of those neighbours sing out of tune or have boots that squeak, or double chins, or odd clothes, the patient will quite easily believe that their religion must therefore be somehow ridiculous.
C. S. Lewis
And men said that the blood of the stars flowed in her veins
C. S. Lewis
The best fruits are plucked for each by some hand that is not his own.
