Quote(s) of the day

If we really believe what we say we believe- if we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is 'wandering to find home', why should we not look forward to the arrival?
-C.S. Lewis

As an unbelieving fatalist I can only let my arms sink before the terrors of death.
-Sigmund Freud

which attitude would you rather have?


C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite men to quote. He had an incredibly brilliant mind and a unique ability to get straight to the heart of an issue. He also enjoyed having fun with academia, his chosen life pursuit. ...

When a too-solemn undergraduate propounded some highfalutin theory on the nature and function of imaginative literature, he would nod gravely and say, "Yes. Now how would you apply that to The Tale of Peter Rabbit?"
-Henry Blamires on C.S. Lewis
