Quote by C.S. Lewis

A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered.

A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered.

Summary

This quote suggests that true fulfillment and joy can only be realized when an experience is cherished and remembered in hindsight. Merely experiencing pleasure in the present moment may not provide the same level of satisfaction as recalling and reflecting upon that pleasure later on. It implies that the significance and value of an enjoyable experience lie in the memories formed and the nostalgic emotions they evoke.

The Jewish sages also tell us that God dances when His child

The Jewish sages also tell us that God dances when His children defeat Him in argument, when they stand on their feet and use their minds. So questions like Anne's are worth asking. To ask them is a very fine kind of human behavior. If we keep demanding that God yield up His answers, perhaps some day we will understand them. And then we will be something more than clever apes, and we shall dance with God.
