C.S. Lewis
“
It is a serious thing...to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to
worship.
..There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere
mortal... it
is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and
exploit....
