another world


"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." - C.S. Lewis

Mars?

it's actually from "mere christianity" (1952), but considering that his "space trilogy" is also considered to reflect his "christian apologist" persona, it might have the same meaning: "while earth has fallen into evil, mars has not" (quite easy to translate in christian terms as heaven).

however, i like the quote for a different reason: because it reflects feelings of enstrangement, from a positive perspective.
