C.S. Lewis

I'm a day late, but I wanted to remember him on the anniversary of his death. I've always liked him, but he became a personal hero after I read his Letters to Children. How can you not love someone who respected and took time for children the way he did?

"It was when I was happiest that I longed most...The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing...to find the place where all the beauty came from." from Till We Have Faces

"The essence of religion, in my view, is the thirst for an end higher than natural ends..." from A Christian Reply to Professor Price Phoenix Quarterly
