C. S. Lewis: no ordinary people, but possible gods

"... It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which ... you would be strongly tempted to worship. ... It is in light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another. ... There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. ..."

Wie schön, wenn ich das nicht vergessen könnte, wenn ich Menschen begegne, die nicht "mein Typ" sind ...

How wonderful if I just won't forget that when I meet people who are just not "my type" ...
