Love, in its own nature, demands the perfecting of the beloved.
C. S. Lewis
Image
But in general, take my advice, when you meet anything that is going to be Human and isn’t yet, or used to be Human once and isn’t now, or ought to be Human and isn’t, you keep your eyes on it and feel for your hatchet.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If you live for the next world, you get this one in the deal but if you live only for this world, you lose them both.

Wherever any precept of traditional morality is simply challenged to produce its credentials, as though the burden of proof lay on it, we have taken the wrong position.
C. S. Lewis
Image
A tyrannous and gluttonous demand for affection can be a horrible thing. But in ordinary life no one calls a child selfish because it turns for comfort to its mother nor an adult who turns to his fellow for company. Those, whether children or adults, who do so least are not usually the most selfless.

C. S. Lewis
Image
Free will, though it makes evil possible, also makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
C. S. Lewis
Image
To please God… to be a real ingredient in the divine happiness… to be loved by God, not merely pitied, but delighted in as an artist delights in his work or a father in a son- it seems impossible, a weight or burden of glory which our thoughts can hardly sustain. But so it is.
C. S. Lewis

You Too? I thought I was the only one.

I am a product [...of] endless books.
C. S. Lewis
Image
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
Image
The great thing to remember is that though our feelings come and go God's love for us does not.
C. S. Lewis
Image
For the power of Man to make himself what he pleases means... the power of some men to make other men what THEY please.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Necessity may not be the opposite of freedom, and perhaps a man is most free when, instead of producing motives, he could only say, I am what I do.

God gives His gifts where He finds the vessel empty enough to receive them.
