"I number it among my blessings that my father had no car, while yet
most of my friends had, and sometimes took me for a drive. This meant
that all these distant objects could be visited just enough to clothe
them with memories and not impossible desires, while yet they remained
ordinarily as inaccessible as the moon. The deadly power of rushing
about wherever I pleased had not been given me. I measured distances by
the standard of man, man walking on his two feet, not by the standard
of the internal combustion engine.
I
had not been allowed to deflower the very idea of distance; in return I
possessed "infinite riches" in what would have been to motorists "a
little room.""
-C. S. Lewis
Ahhhhh. Need I say more? <3
