More Quotes from C.S. Lewis:
The student is half afraid to meet one of the great philosophers face to face. He feels himself inadequate and thinks he will not understand him. But if he only knew, the great man, just because of his greatness, is much more intelligible than his modern commentator.

We need to forgive our brother seventy times seven not only for 490 offences but for one offence.
