Quote by C.S. Lewis

“I think it reaches heights of poetry which you get nowhere else: an ether almost too fine to breathe. It is a pity that I can give you no notion what it is like. Can you imagine Shelley at his most ecstatic combined with Milton at his most solemn and rigid? It sounds impossible I know, but that is what Dante has done...”

“Sullo schermo le diapositive continuano a scorrere: adesso sono più che altro foto di loro due sugli sci. Il nonno trasporta legname nel rifugio sopra la Draumadalur, nei Bláfjöll. Il rifugio si chiamava Himnaríki, che significa «paradiso». Quindi Himnaríki í Draumadalur sarebbe «un paradiso nella valle dei sogni». [...] «Il nome Himnaríki creava qualche malinteso», dice la nonna sorridendo. «Una volta la nostra amica Magga era in autobus con il figlio, che le chiese: "Dov'è papà?" "È in paradiso con Árni", rispose lei. "E quando torna?" "Lunedì". Sull'autobus c'era un prete, che le toccò il braccio e le disse con profonda partecipazione, ma molto serio: "Deve dire la verità al bambino, cara signora!"»”

“Durante la peste, la gente non correva ad abbracciare i malati; come mai? Se così tanti di loro credevano fermamente in un paradiso nell’aldilà, perché c’era comunque una tale avversione per la morte?”

“I guessed she must be, at most, twenty, but there was something about her manner that made me think she could be ageless. She seemed trapped in that state of perpetual youth reserved for mannequins in shop windows.”

“This is a place of mystery, Daniel, a sanctuary. Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens. This place was already ancient when my father brought me here for the first time, many years ago. Perhaps as old as the city itself. Nobody knows for certain how long it has existed, or who created it. I will tell you what my father told me, though. When a library disappears, or a bookshop closes down, when a book is consigned to oblivion, those of us who know this place, its guardians, make sure that it gets here. In this place, books no longer remembered by anyone, books that are lost in time, live forever, waiting for the day when they will reach a new reader's hands. In the shop we buy and sell them, but in truth books have no owner. Every book you here has been somebody's best friend. Now they only have us, Daniel. Do you think you'll be able to keep such a secret?' My gaze was lost in the immensity of the place and its sorcery of light. I nodded, and my father smiled.”

“He seems in these verses to capture something of the nature of pilgrimage - the precise directions to somewhere often awkward to find; and you're not sure quite why you came or what it was you're looking for. If you find it, or it finds you, words cannot easily convey what has happened but it becomes part of the journey that continues." (Daily Celtic Prayer book)”

“Now comes the really amazing part. What is offered to the world, to everyone who hears the gospel, is not a love or saving achievement designed for all and therefore especially for no one; but rather, what is offered is the absolute fullness of all that Christ achieved for his elect.”
