Lewis "Morality, like numinous awe, is a jump; in it, man goes beyond anything that can be 'given' in the facts of experience." "Reasoning is never, like poetry, judged from the outside at all." "Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief." "There will be two kinds of people in the end: Those that will say to God 'Thy will be done' and those to whom God will say 'Thy will be done.'" "Our passions are not too strong, they are too weak. We are far too easily pleased." Top 5 quotes from Poetry "Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves." "A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness." "I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering." "In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite." "To be a poet is a condition, not a profession."
