I have been reading a book called C.S.Lewis: Images of his World (Douglas Gilbert/Clyde S. Kilby) It's rather old, first published in 1973. As the title implies it is full of photos of him and the places he went and lived. It has made me interested in him and here are bits and pieces of interest I found on the Internet.
"The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only - and that is to support the ultimate career. "
"You can make anything by writing."
"Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching."
"Write about what really interests you, whether it is real things or imaginary things, and nothing else."
"I never exactly made a book. It's rather like taking dictation. I was given things to say. "
Clive Staples Lewis 29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963)
His most famous work which we almost all know about before we know of the author .
