Here the whole world (stars, water, air, and field, and forest, as they were reflected in a single mind) like cast off clothes was left behind in ashes, yet with hopes that she, re-born from holy poverty, in lenten lands, hereafter may resume them on her easter day." (epitaph for joy gresham)

More From C. S. Lewis

The word ‘holiday’ comes from ‘holy day’ and holy means ‘exalted and worthy of complete devotion.’ by that definition, all days are holy. life is holy. atheists have joy every day of the year, every holy day. we have the wonder and glory of life. we have joy in the world before the lord is come. we’re not going for the promise of life after death; we’re celebrating life before death…for atheists, everything in the world is enough and every day is holy. every day is an atheist holiday. it’s a day that we’re alive.
Atheist Holiday Mean
People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.

And she loved a man who was made out of nothing. a few hours without him and right away she’d be missing him with her whole body, sitting in her office surrounded by polyethylene and concrete and thinking of him. and every time she’d boil water for coffee in her ground-floor office, she’d let the steam cover her face, imagining it was him stroking her cheeks, her eyelids and she’d wait for the day to be over, so she could go to her apartment building, climb the flight of stairs, turn the key in the door, and find him waiting for her, naked and still between the sheets of her empty bed.
Coffee Missing Him Men
Iago: she that was ever fair and never proud, had tongue at will and yet was never loud, never lack'd gold and yet went never gay, fled from her wish and yet said 'now i may,' she that being anger'd, her revenge being nigh, bade her wrong stay and her displeasure fly, she that in wisdom never was so frail to change the cod's head for the salmon's tail; she that could think and ne'er disclose her mind, see suitors following and not look behind, she was a wight, if ever such wight were,-- desdemona: to do what? iago: to suckle fools and chronicle small beer.

She is melusina, the water goddess, and she is found in hidden springs and waterfalls in any forest in christendom, even in those as far away as greece. (...) a man may love her if he keeps her secret and lets her alone when she wants to bathe, and she may love him in return until he breaks his word, as men always do, and she sweeps him into the depths with her fishy tail, and turns his faithless blood to water. the tragedy of melusina, whatever language tells it, whatever tune it sings, is that a man will always promise more than he can do to a woman he cannot understand.

We said that a single injustice, a single crime, a single illegality, particularly if it is officially recorded, confirmed, a single wrong to humanity, a single wrong to justice and to right, particularly if it is universally, legally, nationally, commodiously accepted, that a single crime shatters and is sufficient to shatter the whole social pact, the whole social contract, that a single legal crime, a single dishonorable act will bring about the loss of ones honor, the dishonor of a whole people. it is a touch of gangrene that corrupts the entire body.

Tasteful and colossal are - in movies, at least - basically antipathetic.

The difference between "winners" and "losers" is not whether they face obstacles and setbacks - we all do, and it is inevitable that plans do not unfold exactly as imagined or that unexpected events surprise us or that a few mistakes happen. the real difference is that "winners" bounce back from a fumble or a loss by refusing to panic, analyzing the situation and looking for positive actions they can take to correct the problem, and then go on to resume winning.

The economic recession in america wasn’t caused by bad luck; it was caused by bad republican policies. but the republican candidates are doubling down on the same flawed policies that led to the loss of 3.6 million jobs in the final months of 2008 and gravely affected middle class families across america.

Good and evil both increase at compound interest. that is why the little decisions you and i make every day are of such infinite importance. the smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. an apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.
