Did you ever really listen to him? ...For if you did you would know him. And if you knew him you would know why we must honor him.'

Walking and talking are two very great pleasures, but it is a mistake to combine them. Our own noise blots out the sounds and silences of the outdoor world; and talking leads almost inevitably to smoking, and then farewell to nature as far as one of our senses is concerned.

C. S. LewisRead
