Walking and talking (Lewis)
June 16th, 2006 | Published in Friendship, Life, Nature, Quotes
Walking and talking are two very great pleasures, but it is a mistake to combine them. Our own noise blots out the sounds and silences of the outdoor world; and talking leads almost inevitably to smoking, and then farewell to nature as far as one of our sense is concerned.
–C.S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy (1955), p. 142
