Yes. This can be a key to friendship. “Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” – Marcel Proust on Relationship quotes

It’s one of the lovely things about blogging, actually. We somehow find “our people” and realize we are not so alone in the things that inspire and delight us! Thanks for posting. Love me some C.S. Lewis.

I love this quote! I’m convinced either Sheldon VanAuken talked about that idea with Lewis before he wrote A Severe Mercy (they were good friends), or that Lewis wrote it after reading Van’s book, because Van and his wife began to fall in love when they had this moment. In their first real conversation, he says to her, “What, you know that too? The pain of beauty? I thought I was the only one.” Sigh. One of my favorite moments in the whole book.
I highly recommend both authors, as well as A Severe Mercy, by the way. C.S. Lewis figures prominently in the book. :)
Love it! Thank you for sharing :)
I saw this quote on a New York subway and included it in my speech at my best friend’s wedding. I don’t think anything could be truer! Happy that others find it just as special. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!
Couldn’t agree more!

I love that quote!! so true, its like when you find out something in common with someone you see him/her different
This quote hit the nail on the head! So very true.
It’s that when you realized that you aren’t alone anymore. I adore Lewis i learnt a lot reading his book ” the 4 loves “.

This is a timely quote for me since I am now reflecting back on my friendships and the people in my life that I am thankful for. I actually started a series for the month of November called Thankful which profiles one special person each Friday and explores the things that they are thankful for. I hope you check it out: http://www.ourwonderlust.com/ourwonderlust/thankful-sydni.html
