Sunday Inspiration: Imagination

For me, reason is the natural organ of truth, but imagination is the organ of meaning.
—C. S. Lewis

Sunday Inspiration: Appearances

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
—Bilbo Baggins (via J. R. R. Tolkien)

Sunday Inspiration: Choices

It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

—Albus Dumbledore (via J. K. Rowling)

Sunday Inspiration: Enemies

“Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel enemies [in real life], let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.”
—C. S. Lewis

Sunday Inspiration: Dragons

Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.

—G. K. Chesterton
