My public library has been on strike for six weeks, so I am turning to this forum for guidance. There is a line in the play and the film Shadowlands that I have always particularly liked and found comforting. But I've never known whether it was something CS Lewis actually said, or whether it was William Nicholson's: "Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers any more, only the life I have lived. [...] The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal."
Anybody?
