I really struggle with reading C.S. Lewis sometimes. I really love the way he thinks and the way he sees the world, but his actual writing itself is not a style that I particularly connect with. I often have to read summaries or other analyses of his work because I get lost his in allegories and metaphors and have a hard time extracting the spiritual/philosophical thoughts from in. Case in point, I didn't find this book particularly compelling to read in terms of narrative or characters, but it had some really, really great and thought-provoking quotes that I saved for later contemplation. I'm just going to post those quotes here so you all know what I took away from this book.


There are some other good ones in the book, but those were my three favorites which I think are perhaps just as applicable to the world today as when C.S. Lewis first wrote this book in 1945.
