Amphibians

Random quote of the day:

“Humans are amphibians—half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time. This means that while their spirits can be directed to an eternal object, their bodies, passions, and imaginations are in continual change, for to be in time, means to change.”

—C. S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

I need to reread The Screwtape Letters. It has been a long time since first I read it. Funnily enough, I am reading something else by Lewis right now, his Space Trilogy.

It's the only thing I've ever read by him (or finished, at any rate)! And like you it's been a long time. It might be interesting to revisit it many decades of life experience later.
