I'm watching Dale Ahlquist give a speech about The Everlasting Man, and this trivia's so good I have to stop and tell you about it.

C.S. Lewis said his one regret in life was that he never met G.K. Chesterton.

He'd had a plan of how to do it.

He was going to write a book of poetry and get Chesterton to write the introduction.

Chesterton would do this for young poets to help them get published.

Obviously, Lewis never got the chance.

But there was a doctoral candidate who asked Chesterton to write an introduction to his thesis so he could get it published.

Chesterton agreed.

The book got published.

The book was by Fulton Sheen.

Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you never know who would love the person you hide.

Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different.

I've never seen a normal post about C.S. Lewis and JRR Tolkien it's always just like: Tolkien once murdered someone and Lewis helped him bury the body but he wore a Santa costume just to spite him

Yearly Reminder that C.S Lewis encouraged his fans to write fanfiction about Susan Pevensie becoming a friend to Narnia and reuniting with her family once again.

Literally inviting his fans to write Susan’s adult, angsty character development with a happy ending.

Do your duty fans. Write that fanfiction.

You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.

“I remember Christian teachers telling me long ago that I must hate a bad man's actions but not hate the bad man: or, as they would say, hate the sin but not the sinner. ...I used to think this a silly, straw-splitting distinction: how could you hate what a man did and not hate the man? But years later it occurred to me that there was one man to whom I had been doing this all my life -- namely myself. However much I might dislike my own cowardice or conceit or greed, I went on loving myself. There had never been the slightest difficulty about it. In fact the very reason why I hated the things was that I loved the man. Just because I loved myself, I was sorry to find that I was the sort of man who did those things.”

― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.
