"It is when two such persons discover one another, when, whether with immense difficulties and semi-articulate fumblings or with what would seem to us amazing and elliptical speed, they share their vision- it is then that Friendship is born. And instantly they stand together in an immense solitude."
"Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities."
"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival."
"When natural things look most divine, the demoniac is just round the corner."
"Even if the two lovers are mature and experienced people who know that broken hearts heal in the end and can clearly foresee that, if they once steeled themselves to go through the present agony of parting, they would almost certainly be happier ten years hence than marriage is at all likely to make them- even then, they would not part."
"Do not let your happiness depend on something you may lose."
"There is no earthly comfort in the long run."
"To know that one is dreaming is to be no longer perfectly asleep."
i really enjoyed this book. it made some good points and helped reiterate things that i've already learned. this may be one of my favourite cs lewis books so far... ^^
