I recently bought "The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics" and I wanted to share some awesome highlights from the book.
For me, finding good quotes requires me to read the original work. I cannot bring myself to a simple search under an authors name, or a quote book. For me, finding quotes is much like hunting.
I will use the quote books, websites, or snippets to stalk my prey, and locate the readings necessary- but then I hunt the quotes myself, and record them by hand when I find them. I have re-written these quotes myself, tediously, because I believe that is the only way to understand a saying- to breath it and re-communicate it with your own hands.
Because of the sheer volume of CS Lewis quotes I have found (from only one major work) I will only post a few at a time, and comment upon them as I do so. Hopefully, this will make it all more easily digestible, and hopefully more fun to discuss.
