I love C.S. Lewis. I don't even like to read, and I love him. Had I been around 40 years ago, I think I would have been almost as interested in being in his presence as I am in being in Bono's presence.
"'The term is over, the holidays have begun. The dream is ended, this is the morning.' And as He spoke He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story, which no one on earth has read, which goes on forever in which every chapter is better than the one before." - C.S. Lewis, from The Last Battle
