"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn." ― C. S. Lewis Topic(s): Experience More From C. S. Lewis "Humans are amphibians – half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time." "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." "There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them." More In Experience "If you haven’t read you don’t have the voice. The lack of voice eliminates experience."― George Saunders "My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones."― Agnetha Faltskog "We have that illusion that we are ‘deciding’ what to make a character do, in order to ‘convey our message’ or something like that. But, at least in my experience, you are often more like a river-rafting guide who’s been paid a bonus to purposely steer your clients into the roughest possible water."― George Saunders
