We spoke to God about the children, and we were afraid to ask God for specific things. We thought that it might be too much.

And if you leave that much open for God, some wonderful jokes are going to come about. Bill Cosby

children silly book
It is usual to speak in a playfully apologetic tone about one's adult enjoyment of what are called 'children's books.' I think the convention a silly one. No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty-except, of course, books of information. The only imaginative works we ought to grow out of are those which it would have been better not to have read at all. A mature palate will probably not much care for crème de menthe: but it ought still to enjoy bread and butter and honey. C. S. Lewis

children writing thinking
God lends us a little of His reasoning powers and that is how we think: He puts a little of His love into us and that is how we love one another.

We love and reason because God loves and reasons and holds our hand while we do it. C. S. Lewis
children book writing
Of course all children's literature is not fantastic, so all fantastic books need not be children's books.

C. S. Lewis
children water gone
Once you were a child. Once you knew what inquiry was for. There was a time when you asked questions because you wanted answers, and were glad when you had found them. Become a child again, even now... You have gone wrong. Thirst was made for water; inquiry for truth. C. S. Lewis
