C. S. Lewis
Here the whole world (stars, water, air, And field, and forest, as they were Reflected in a single mind) Like cast off clothes was left behind In ashes, yet with hopes that she, Re-born from holy poverty, In lenten lands, hereafter may Resume them on her Easter Day. (Epitaph for Joy Gresham)
C. S. Lewis
To live in a fully predictable world is not to be a man.
C. S. Lewis
Faith in Christ is the only thing to save you from despair.
C. S. Lewis
