A quote from C.S. Lewis. In context it specifically refers to persistently vexing theological questions like "What happens to animals when they die?" and "What about intelligent races on other planets?" A gentle (and, I think, wonderfully British) reminder that we should just settle down and tend to our own business and let others tend to theirs.
