Lewis Quote by Louis A. Markos
““And that is why Lewis concludes that we can shut Jesus up as a lunatic, kill him as a devil, or fall at his feet in worship—but “let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.””

![“I think for Lev [Grossman], C. S. Lewis was a huge inspiration from his childhood. I know that Brideshead Revisited is a book that he's incredibly found of and he took certain structural influences from that book that he brought into The Magicians.” quote by Hale Appleman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ab7/hale-appleman-26449_book_i-think-for-lev-grossman-c-s-lewis-was-a_39261.jpg)
