C.S. Lewis – The Horse and his Boy (page 272)
He had not yet learned that if you do one good deed your reward usually is to be set to do another and harder and better one.
C.S. Lewis – The Horse and his Boy (page 272)
Harper Lee – Too Kill a Mockingbird (page 128)
I wanted you to see something about her—I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.
Harper Lee – Too Kill a Mockingbird (page 128)
C.S. Lewis – Out Of The Silent Planet (page 74)
And how could we endure to live and let time pass if we were always cyring for one day or one year to come back—if we did not know that every day in a life fills the whole life with expectation and memory and that these are that day?
C.S. Lewis – Out of the Silent Planet (Page 74)
Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Ethics (page 87)
Christ did not, like a moralist, love a theory of good, but He loved the real man. He was not, like a philosopher, interested in the “universally valid,” but rather in that which is of help to the real and concrete human being. What worried Him was not, like, Kant, whether “the maxim of an action can become a principle of general legislation,” but whether my action is at this moment helping my nieghbour to become a man before God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Ethics (page 87)
