The Words of Our Elders: C S Lewis (1898–1963)

The man who is contented to be only himself, and therefore less a self, is in prison. My own eyes are not enough for me, I will see through those of others. Reality, even seen through the eyes of many, is not enough. I will see what others have invented …. in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.

~ C S Lewis

The words of our elders, are words of wisdom.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one.

The Words Of Our Elders: C S Lewis (1898-1963)

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this. ~ C S Lewis
