Quote by C.S. Lewis

“What I like about experience is that it is such an honest thing. You may number of wrong turnings; but keep your eyes open and you will not be allowed to go very far before the warning signs appear. You may have deceived yourself, but experience is not trying to deceive you. The universe rings true wherever you fairly test it.”
