  1. A quotation from C. S. Lewis

    In civilised life domestic hatred usually expresses itself by saying things which would appear quite harmless on paper (the words are not offensive) but in such a voice, or at such a moment, that they are not far short of a blow in the face.

    C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) English writer, literary scholar, lay theologian [Clive Staples Lewis]
    The Screwtape Letters, Letter 3 (1942)
