C. S. Lewis
Life isn't all fricasseed frogs and eel pie.
C. S. Lewis
I now see that I spent most of my life in doing neither what I ought nor what I liked.
C. S. Lewis
A thing may be morally neutral and yet the desire for that thing may be dangerous.
C. S. Lewis
You can't lay down any pattern for God. There are many different ways of bringing people into his Kingdom, even some ways that I specially dislike! I have therefore learned to be cautious in my judgment.
C. S. Lewis

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
Many people think their prayers are never answered because it is the answered ones they forget.
C. S. Lewis
Is any pleasure on Earth as great as a circle of Christian friends?
C. S. Lewis
But I remember more dearly autumn afternoons in bottoms that lay intensely silent under old great trees
C. S. Lewis
All day I have been tossed and whirled in a preposterous happiness was it an elf in the blood? Or a bird in the brain? Or even part of the cloudily crested, fifty-league-long, loud, uplifted wave of a journeying angels transit over and through my heart?
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
In your world, I have another name. You should know me by it.
C. S. Lewis
