Author C.S. Lewis"No man who values originality will ever be original. But try to tell the truth as you see it, try to do any bit of work as well as it can be done for the work's sake, and what men call originality will come unsought."
Clive Staples Lewis, by way of Juliette Aristides, Classical Painting Atelier.
A great quote by one of my favorite writers.
ReplyDeleteThat's what it's all about isn't it? To tell the truth as we see it.
At least that should be our starting place.
Lewis' light burns brighter the farther in time we get from his body of work.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite authors for over 40 years. I recently picked up a copy of Lewis' Till We Have Faces. Try some of his contemporaries: Charles Williams and Tolkien.
ReplyDeleteInklings? I never could get into Tolkien, but found CS Lewis' fantasy works very readable. Favorite: The Space Trilogy.
ReplyDeleteI would like to try reading Williams, though.
My artwork is thin because I am posting too much LOL! While I have been enjoying the photo challenge I will be glad when it is over (soon soon).
ReplyDeleteI like the quote and so agree about it being a good starting place.
It's simple sense, huh?
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying your alphabet posts - I think a collectible set. Maybe a book idea?
