"This is, I think, one little part of what Christ meant by saying that a thing will not really live unless it first dies. It is simply no good trying to keep any thrill: that is the very worst thing yoiu can do. Let the thrill go—let it die away—go on through that period of death into the quieter interest and happiness that follow—and you will find you are living in a world of new thrills all the time. But if you decide to make thrills your regular diet and try to prolong them artificially. they will all get weaker and weaker. and fewer and fewer, and you will be a bored. disillusioned old man for the rest of your life."
— C.S. Lewis- Mere Christianity (via paulastickers)
