Though best known for his fantasy series “The Chronicles of Narnia,” C.S. Lewis was also an accomplished poet and literary scholar. During the Second World War, he hosted a series of radio talks for the BBC, including a sermon aimed especially at young wartime scholars trying to find their paths (from which this quote comes).
