| I love Lewis. Even in those rare times when I do not wholly agree with him I find myself richly edified by him. | |

| A little book with a good mix of short essays, in which C. S. Lewis shares some of his wit and wisdom. My favorites: Equality, Is English Doomed?, Democratic Education, Modern Man and His Category of Thought, On Living in an Atomic Age. | |

“Now the story of Christ is simply a true myth: a myth working on us the same way as the others, but with this tremendous difference that it really happened: and one must be content to accept it in the same way, remembering that it is God’s myth where the others are men’s myths: i.e., the Pagan stories are God expressing Himself through the minds of poets, using such images as He found there, while Christianity is God expressing Himself through what we call 'real things'.”

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

“An open mind, in questions that are not ultimate, is useful. But an open mind about the ultimate foundations either of Theoretical or of Practical Reason is idiocy. If a man's mind is open on these things, let his mouth at least be shut. He can say nothing to the purpose. Outside the Tao there is no ground for criticizing either the Tao or anything else.”

We formed many years ago as a group of teachers wanting to improve ourselves through reading. We met for years in a local coffee shop.
