Selections from C.S. Lewis' Little Book of Wisdom:
"If God had granted all the silly prayers I've made in my life, where should I be now?"
"Surely arrested development consists not in refusing to lose old things, but in failing to add new things..."
"Do not dare not to dare."
"We are mirrors whose brightness is wholly derived from the sun that shines upon us."
"I didn't go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don't recommend Christianity."
