The horror of the Same Old Thing is [. . .] an endless source of heresies in religion, folly in counsel, in.delity in marriage, and inconstancy in friend­ship. The humans live in time, and experience reality successively. To experi­ence much of it, therefore, they must experience many di.erent things; in other words, they must experience change. And since they need change, the Enemy (being a hedonist at heart) has made change pleasurable to them. - C. S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters (1942)

The great and sudden assurance of friendship between us rose: a friendship so much needed by us both in our exile, and already so well proved in the days and nights of our bitter journey, that it might as well be called, now as later, love. But it was from the di.erence between us, not from the a.nities and likenesses, but from the di.erence, that that love came; and it was itself the bridge, the only bridge, across what divided us. - Ursula K. Le Guin, TheLeftHandof Darkness (1969)
