"If anyone had… been watching the course of Evolution he would probably have expected that it was going to go on to heavier and heavier armor. But he would have been wrong. The future had a card up its sleeve which nothing tat that time would have led him to expect. It was going to spring on him little, naked, unarmored animals which had brains: and with those brains they were going to master the whole planet." Mere Christianity, p172 CS Lewis

Since today is Valentine's Day, it only seems right to have a quote on Love. CS Lewis wrote a classic work called The Four Loves. In that book is one of his most famous and popular quotes:
"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable." The Four Loves, CS Lewis
