Stories (The Nature Of)

C. S. Lewis: But in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do. (C. S. Lewis, An Experiment In Criticism, [Cambridge: At The University Press, 1969], Epilogue, p. 141.)
