“I believe that in all men’s lives at certain points…one of the most dominant elements is the desire to be inside the local Ring and the terror of being left outside….and you will be drawn in, if you are drawn in, not by a desire for gain or ease, but simply because at that moment, when the cup was so near your lips, you cannot bear to be thrust back again into the cold outer world. It would be so terrible to se the other man’s face- that genial, confidential, delightfully sophisticated face- turn suddenly cold and contemptuous, to know that you have been tried for the Inner Ring and rejected.” -C.S. Lewis, Weight of Glory
