Most Infuluential
CD: Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Movie: The Godfather
Book: Actually an the essay which gives the title to a collection of essays
by CS Lewis. The book and essay are The Weight of Glory. This quote in
particular, which so many have used, which gives testimony to it's power.
“...it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too
weak. We are half hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and
ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to
go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by
the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
Along with this is the exchange in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, where
Lucy asks, "Is he safe?" and the reply, "Of course he isn't safe, he is a
lion, but he is good."
Finally, The End for Which God Created the World, by Jonathan Edwards.
