Gratitude looks to the Past and love to the Present fear, avarice, lust, and ambition look ahead.
More Quotes from C.S. Lewis:
When the two people who thus discover that they are on the same secret road are of different sexes, the friendship which arises between them will very easily pass may pass in the first half hour into erotic love. Indeed, unless they are physically repulsive to each other or unless one or both already loves elsewhere, it is almost certain to do so sooner or later. And conversely, erotic love may lead to Friendship between the lovers. But this, so far from obliterating the distinction between the two loves, puts it in a clearer light. If one who was first, in the deep and full sense, your Friend, is then gradually or suddenly revealed as also your lover you will certainly not want to share the Beloveds erotic love with any third. But you will have no jealousy at all about sharing the Friendship. Nothing so enriches an erotic love as the discovery that the Beloved can deeply, truly and spontaneously enter into Friendship with the Friends you already had to feel that not only are we two united by erotic love but we three or four or five are all travelers on the same quest, have all a common vision.C.S. Lewis
Though our feelings come and go, Gods love for us does not.

Mortal lovers must not try to remain at the first step for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot and from it we wake in despair.

Adventures are never fun while you're having them.

Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them but Love cannot cease to will their removal.
C.S. Lewis
In those days a boy on the classical side officially did almost nothing but classics. I think this was wise the greatest service we can to education today is to teach few subjects. No one has time to do more than a very few things well before he is twenty, and when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects we destroy his standards, perhaps for life.

Jazz is all about improvisation and it's about the moment in time, doing it this way now, and you'll never do it this way twice. I've studied the masters. Why would I want to play ball after the guys who sit on a bench? I want to play like Michael Jordan.
