QUOTE OF THE DAY:

“How little people know who think that holiness is dull. When one meets the real thing … it is irresistible. If even ten per cent of the world’s population had it, would not the whole world be converted and happy before a year’s end?”

Letter to Mary Willis Shelburne 8/1/1953
(Published in The Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, Volume III)
