“Like a drunk man who knows he has a house but can’t find his way home”

Lewis quoted the same simile in Chaucer’s ‘The Knight’s Tale,’ in which the knight addresses the human journey: ‘All men know that the true good is Happiness, and all men seek it, but for the most part by wrong routes – like a drunk man who knows he has a house but can’t find his way home.’

-Terry Lindvall, Surprised by Laughter, p. 59
