One of my favorite literary quotes

» Posted by on Jul 28, 2010 in Random Thoughts | 10 comments

I’ve always been partial to the following quote by C. S. Lewis, “You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.”

That said, the book doesn’t always have to be long, just good, and the tea might not even have to come in a cup. With the weather we have had lately in a glass with lots of ice will do just fine.

So, if you were to write your own version of this quote, how might it read?

You can’t get a blank something enough or another blank something else enough to suit me.

  1. You can’t get a library big enough or a chocolate bar thick enough to suit me. :)

  2. I couldn’t come up with one off the top of my head but I really liked the quote!

  3. Oooohh, I like Angie’s quote. Ha! I can’t think of one right now, but I like the post. :)

  4. Angie: I love your version!

  5. Paul: Thanks!

  6. Sam: Thanks!

  7. There isn’t a mudslide dessert chocolatey and rich enough or a good massage long enough (especially if I fall asleep during).

  8. C.S. hit it spot on for me, I love my tea and a good, long book. You’re right though, not every book should be long. The story is what it is. As for the tea, I do wish the cup was bottomless!

  9. Heather: A bottomless cup of tea sounds like just the right size!

  10. Scott: Good one!
