About this quote
C.S. Lewis’s profound words remind us that the magic of true art, much like the beauty of a well-lived life, is never restricted by age. Just as the best children's stories hold hidden depths that only reveal themselves as we grow, the most meaningful parts of our own human journey retain their wonder no matter how many years we accumulate. Growing up shouldn't mean outgrowing our capacity for awe, imagination, and unbridled joy. In our rush to embrace adulthood, we often leave behind the playful innocence and simple curiosities that once made our hearts soar. Yet, this timeless wisdom encourages us to nurture the child within—to find solace in fairy tales, beauty in the ordinary, and magic in everyday moments. By keeping our hearts open to wonder, we enrich our lives and connect more deeply with the universal human experience, proving that the best parts of us are timeless.
