evidence: Did CS Lewis say this? Absolutely not. It doesn’t sound even remotely like him. It’s trite syrup that drips of 21st-century populist-speaker-writer-religion centered around supernaturally vulnerable friendships. Ack. [...] Unlike many of Lewis’s other misattributed quotes (including: "Humility is not thinking of yourself less: it’s thinking less of yourself," and, "You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream," and, "You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body."), this one is almost spot on. What Lewis actually wrote was: [...] It is quoted in mainstream publications. It is quoted in AP History presentations. It is quoted by pastors. It is quoted on every Lewis-loving-blogger’s blog known to humankind. (I hyperbolize.) It is quoted on every quote site in existence. (I exaggerate.) It is even quoted by C. S. Lewis himself on his personal Twitter account. (I joke not.)
