This quotation from C.S. Lewis has been doing the rounds of both the writers’ and fountain pen communities. I quite like it – even if I find some of Lewis’s other output a bit too unbearably pompous for modern tastes. It appears on the back dust jacket of a recent collection edited by David C. Downing: C. S. Lewis, On Writing (and Writers), A Miscellany of Advice and Opinions, Harper One, 2022.
“Whenever you are fed up with life, start writing: ink is the great cure for all human ills, as I have found out long ago.”
Originally from The Letters of C. S. Lewis to Arthur Greeves, 30 May, 1916
