Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
– C. S. Lewis (1898 โ 1963)

Reblogged this on Ken Hume and commented:
Don’t over think it too much or try too hard to be different. Write your truth and trust your instincts.๐๐
That’s exactly right, Ken.

Thanks very much David, I like the quote! We try so hard sometimes to be different and original and lose something of ourselves in the process.
Very true.

Wise Truth here David!

Who are we if not ourselves!
Yes; and I think Lewis is saying that we should own that!

I like that. Truth is powerful, even just the truth of one person.
Yeah, I really like this idea too – I’d never thought of it that way before ๐
