Quote by C.S. Lewis

“Of course the cat will growl and spit at the operator and bite him if she can. But the real question is whether he is a vet or a vivisector.”

A Grief Observed

Written as a series of private reflections, this work documents the author's journey through intense sorrow, doubt, and spiritual questioning after the loss of his wife. The narrative moves from raw pain and confusion to a tentative, hard-won acceptance, examining how grief reshapes memory, faith, and the sense of self. It is a candid account of the psychological and emotional landscape of bereavement, offering no easy answers but a profound meditation on love and loss. more

“Pragmatism, by its very name, poses above all as a 'pholosophy of action'; its more or less avowed assumption is that man only has needs of a practical order, material ones and, together with these, sentimental ones. It means, then, the doing away with intellectuality; but, if this is so, why go on wanting to evolve theories? That is rather hard to understand; and if pragmatism, like skepticism, which it only differs from with regard to action, wished to conform to its own standards, it would have to limit itself to a mere mental attitude, which it cannot even seek to justify logically without giving itself the lie; but there is no doubt that it is very difficult to keep strictly within such bounds.”

“Logic is present in both the master and the fool. Logic to the fool is: "If I attack the neighbor, I get his food and his house and his wife." Logic to the master is: "If I build 8,000 houses, it will solve the problem of all the fools attacking their neighbors and stealing their wives!" The moral of the story is: be careful what you make sense of. Something will always make total sense, to the person making sense of it.”

“A poem for the rulers of nations. "Heavy lies the head that bears the crown, A weight of power, from dusk to dawn. In regal halls, with scepter and throne, The ruler's heart carries burdens unknown. Heavy lies the head, but it bears the weight, Of destiny's hand, of a kingdom's fate. Through trials and triumphs, they must lead, For the crown they wear is the nation's need. Served with platters of rumours and hate, Still they feed our nations from a selfless plate. Endless gossip and selfish press, Yet they take the punch with no regret. With grace and strength, they rise above, Their duty to cherish, their people to love. In the realm they govern, their hearts resound, For heavy lies the head that wears the crown.”
