Platitudes (continued further even more still than one topic should be continued to infinity and beyond....)

The process of living seems to consist in coming to realize truths so ancient and simple that, if stated, they sound like barren platitudes. The cannot sound otherwise to those who have not had the relevant experience: that is why there is no real teaching of such truths possible and every generation starts from scratch.
--CS Lewis, Letters of CS Lewis, 1939

Interesting fact: CS Lewis wrote the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Not the original books, mind you; those were written by Descartes. CS Lewis wrote the screenplays for the three movies. Most people don't know that.
