"Relying on human beings is going to let us down. The best of them will make mistakes; all of them will die. We must be thankful to all the people who have helped us, we must honour them and love them. But never, never pin your whole faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. There are lots of nice things you can do with sand: but do not try building a house on it."
• Back to C.S. Lewis and his genius; so many quotable/memorable passages, I'd love to highlight the whole book!! •
“It is wonderful what you can do when you have to.”
“Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be a word without meaning.”
• what a brilliant mind ✨•

I‘m not sure if he wrote this in any of his works, but Lewis is quoted as saying this in a book about tea. #never #quotsyjan18 @TK-421
My sister gave me this picture a couple of years ago and it now hangs over my smaller bookcase along with a couple of prints of faeries: one reading a book, the other with her feet soaking in a tea cup. #bookanddrink #uncannyoctober
