Much is being said about the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on this day. However, today also marks the 50th anniversary of the death of C.S. Lewis, and many tweeters remembered the literary giant.
In addition to being the death anniversary of JFK, it is also the death anniversary of the ever quotable C.S. Lewis. pic.twitter.com/MG6hYeQxN6
