"All great literature is one of two stories; a man goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town."

Previous Quote

But in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.

— C. S. Lewis
