C. S. Lewis
There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.
C. S. Lewis
We do not enjoy a story fully at the first reading. Not till the curiosity, the sheer narrative lust, has been given its sop and laid asleep, are we at leisure to savour the real beauties.
C. S. Lewis
This is the land of Narnia,' said the Faun, 'where we are now all that lies between the lamp-post and the great castle of Cair Paravel on the eastern sea.
C. S. Lewis
Remember, we Christians think man lives for ever. Therefore, what really matters is those little marks or twists on the central, inside part of the soul which are going to turn it, in the long run, into a heavenly or a hellish creature.
C. S. Lewis
Joy is never in our power and pleasure often is
C. S. Lewis
“Who are you?” One who has waited long for you to speak.
