QUOTE
Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.
By
C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis (1898–1963) was a British fellow and tutor at Oxford University, chair of Medieval and Renaissance literature at Cambridge University, and prolific author best known for his work on Christian apologetics and exploration of moral philosophy through fairy tales, science fiction, and the children’s series The Chronicles of Narnia.
