Psalm 121:1-2 (NASB)
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
From where shall my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.

“No hay gente ordinaria...”
“No hay gente ordinaria. Nunca has hablado con un mero mortal. Naciones, culturas, artes, civilizaciones: estas son mortales, y su vida es para la nuestra como la vida de un mosquito. Pero son los inmortales con quienes bromeamos, trabajamos, nos casamos, rechazamos y explotamos –horrores inmortales o esplendores eternos–. Esto no significa que hemos de ser perpetuamente solemnes. Debemos jugar. Pero nuestra alegría debe ser de ese tipo (y es, de hecho, el tipo más alegre) que existe entre personas que se han, desde el principio, tomado en serio entre sí: sin frivolidad, sin superioridad y sin presunción”.
C.S. Lewis en El Peso de la Gloria
“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations – these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit – immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously – no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.”
C.S Lewis in The Weight of Glory
