A few quotes from my dear mentor C.S. Lewis:

 "A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest."

 "If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair."

"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it."

"Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see."
