Simonetta鈥檚 Quotes

“We typically misunderstand what's wrong about consumerism. It's not that it makes us love material things too much. To be a good consumer, you have to desire to get lots of things, but you must not love any of them too much once you have them. Consumerism needs children who do not stay attached to their toys for very long and learn to expect the next round of presents as soon as possible. When consumerism succeeds, our attachments are shallow, easily broken, so we can move on to the next thing we're supposed to get. Being a good consumer means desiring new things, not cherishing old ones. And the new things you're supposed to desire are not always material things. Spirituality is now a consumerist enterprise, too.”
― Phillip Cary, Good News for Anxious Christians: 10 Practical Things You Don't Have to Do

“Aslan" said Lucy "you're bigger".
"That is because you are older, little one" answered he.
"Not because you are?"

“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I鈥檓 ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don鈥檛 accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic 鈥� on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg 鈥� or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
