  C. S. Lewis : That's not why I pray, Harry. I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God, it changes me.

  Harry : I'm so sorry, Jack. I didn't know.

  C. S. Lewis : Neither did I, Harry.

• Harry : Doesn't it seem like a waste?
