The Inner Ring

C.S. Lewis

• "Until you conquer the fear of being an outsider, an outsider you will remain." 

• "To a young person, just entering on adult life, the world seems full of 'insides,' full of delightful intimacies and confidentialities, and he desires to enter them. But if he follows that desire he will reach no 'inside' that is worth reaching. The true road lies in quite another direction."

- C.S. Lewis, "The Inner Ring"
