The book is too original and too opulent for any final judgement on a first reading. But we know at once that it has done things to us. We are not quite the same.

-C.S. Lewis on The Lord of the Rings in his critical essay, ‘The Dethronement of Power’ (via vinyalonde)

I like it when a book does things to me.

In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do.
C.S. Lewis (via vodkawhale)
