Quote by C. S. Lewis

Summary

This quote by C.S. Lewis uses the metaphor of an egg to emphasize the idea that personal growth and transformation require taking risks and embracing change. Just as an egg must undergo the process of hatching to become a bird, humans must also break free from their comfort zones in order to truly flourish. Remaining stagnant and ordinary leads to stagnation and potential decay in life. Thus, the quote urges individuals to embrace growth, break free from their shells, and evolve into their true potential.
