C. S. Lewis
Free will, though it makes evil possible, also makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
C. S. Lewis
We might think that God wanted simply obedience to a set of rules: whereas He really wants people of a particular sort.
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
But no one except Lucy knew that as it circled the mast it had whispered to her, Courage, dear heart, and the voice, she felt sure, was Aslan's, and with the voice a delicious smell breathed in her face.
C. S. Lewis
A society where the simple many obey the few seers can live a society where all were seers could live even more fully. But a society where the mass is still simple and the seers are no longer attended to can achieve only superficiality, baseness, ugliness, and in the end extinction. On or back we must go: to stay here is death.
C. S. Lewis
We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.
C. S. Lewis
Surely arrested development consists not in refusing to lose old things but in failing to add new things.
C. S. Lewis
What one must not do is to rule out the supernatural as the one impossible explanation.
C. S. Lewis
You must be asking which door is the true one not which pleases you best
C. S. Lewis
I came alive when I started loving you.
C. S. Lewis
I could well believe that it is God's intention, since we have refused milder remedies, to compel [Christians] into unity, by persecution even. Satan is without doubt nothing else than a hammer in the hand of a benevolent and severe God.
C. S. Lewis
