Clive Staples Lewis

Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up save in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it." - from Mere Christianity

The safest road to hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.

Ludzie wstydzą się najbardziej tego właśnie, na co nic nie mogą poradzić.

It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

The only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.

To jest klucz do historii. Przerażająca energia zostaje odkryta cywilizacje rozwijają się tworzone są wspaniale wynalazki, ale za każdym razem coś idzie źle. Jakiś fatalny szkwał zawsze wynosi egoistycznych i okrutnych ludzi na szczyt, a potem wszystko ześlizguje się w chaos i zostaje zrujnowane. Faktycznie, cala maszyneria nawala. Wydaje się, że znów działa w porządku i przemierza kilka jardów, a potem psuje się całkowicie

Pewnego dnia będziesz dość stary na to, żeby ponownie czytać bajki.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.

Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself...

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different?

Jeśli robisz jeden dobry uczynek, twoją nagrodą będzie możliwość by zrobić inny, lepszy i trudniejszy.
