The heart of Christianity is a myth which is also a fact.
C. S. Lewis
Some have paid me an undeserved compliment by supposing that my Letters were the ripe fruit of many years' study in moral and ascetic theology. They forgot that there is an equally reliable, though less creditable, way of learning how temptation works.
C. S. Lewis
God will look to every soul like its first love because He is its first love.
C. S. Lewis
Unless Christianity is wholly false, the perception of ourselves which we have in moments of shame must be the only true one.
C. S. Lewis
I believe that there are too many practitioners in the church, who are not believers.
C. S. Lewis
