You must be asking which door is the true one not which pleases you best
C. S. Lewis
History is a story written by the finger of God.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Much is expected from those to whom much is given.
C. S. Lewis
I am a product [...of] endless books. My father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them.... I had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.
C. S. Lewis
The only moral that is of any value is that which arises inevitably from the whole cast of the author's mind.
C. S. Lewis
if anyone present wishes to make me the subject of his wit, I am very much at his service--with my sword--whenever he has leisure.
C. S. Lewis
Aren't all these notes the senseless writings of a man who won't accept the fact that there is nothing we can do with suffering except to suffer it?
C. S. Lewis
The only palliative is to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books.
C. S. Lewis
Human intellect is incurably abstract.
