Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.
C. S. Lewis
I wish we didn't live in a world where buying and selling things seems to have become almost more important than either producing or using them.

Grief. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
C. S. Lewis
Death and resurrection are what the story is about and had we but eyes to see it, this has been hinted on every page, met us, in some disguise, at every turn, and even been muttered in conversations between such minor characters (if they are minor characters) as the vegetables.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
We are all fallen creatures and all very hard to live with.
C. S. Lewis
If we ignore it the truth that God is love may slyly come to mean for us the converse, that love is God.
C. S. Lewis
A man can't be taken to hell, or sent to hell: you can only get there on your own steam.
C. S. Lewis
I gave in, and admitted that God was God.
C. S. Lewis
Child, that is why all the rest are now a horror to her. That is what happens to those who pluck and eat fruits at the wrong time and in the wrong way. Oh, the fruit is good, but they loath it ever after.
C. S. Lewis
A real desire to believe all the good you can of others and to make others as comfortable as you can will solve most of the problems.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot love a fellow creature fully till you love God.
C. S. Lewis
History is a story written by the finger of God.
C. S. Lewis
Will the others see you too? asked Lucy. Certainly not at first, said Aslan. Later on, it depends. But they won’t believe me! said Lucy. It doesn’t matter.
C. S. Lewis
The best swordsman in the world may be disarmed by a trick that's new to him.
