“The books or the music in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we trust to them; it was not in them, it only came through them…
These things, the beauty, the memory of our own past, are good images of what we really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself they turn into dumb idols.”
- C.S. Lewis
the worst thing about being a fantasy reader is knowing that you’ll never experience that same sense of adventure in real life, you can only yearn for it within the page of a book.
