C. S. Lewis Quotes

I was never a weapons person, you're a coward if you have to walk with a weapon, be a man and fight.

When I was younger, I was a bit of a feisty fighter type of guy. That's something my father told me as I was becoming a man: 'You don't go picking fights, but you don't run from any of them.' And I was more afraid of my father than anybody else I had to fight.

I like to fight. That's who I am.
