"He that but looketh on a plate of ham and eggs to lust after it, hath already committed breakfast with it in his heart."
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. "
“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal...."
Happy Birthday, C.S.!
