"Only a real risk tests the reality of a belief."
"But unless she is proceeding at sixty seconds a minute along this same timeline that all we living people travel by, what does 'now' mean?"
"[Those somethings] appear as two circles (circles are slices of spheres). Two circles that touched. But those two circles, above all the point at which they touched, are te very thing that I am mourning for, homesick for, famished for. You tell me, 'She goes on.' But my heart and body are crying out, come back, come back."
"The exact same thing is never taken away and given back."
--C.S. Lewis
