C. S. Lewis
Of all bad men religious bad men are the worst.
C. S. Lewis
No good poem, however confessional it may be, is just a self-expression. Who on earth would claim that the pearl expresses the oyster?
C. S. Lewis
you had nothing to say about it and yet made the nothing up into words.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
All get what they want they do not always like it.
C. S. Lewis
Where, except in uncreated light, can the darkness be drowned?
C. S. Lewis
Don't judge a man by where he is, because you don't know how far he has come.
C. S. Lewis
