God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine. A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself.

The real Oxford is a close corporation of jolly, untidy, lazy, good-for-nothing humorous old men, who have been electing their own successors ever since the world began and who intend to go on with it. They'll squeeze under the Revolution or leap over it when the time comes, don't you worry.

To every man, in his acquaintance with a new art, there comes a moment when that which before was meaningless first lifts, as it were, one corner of the curtain that hides its mystery, and reveals, in a burst of delight which later and fuller understanding can hardly ever equal, one glimpse of the indefinite possibilities within.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It's so large It's the world dear, did you think it'd be small? smaller
C. S. Lewis
Image
By repenting, one acknowledges them as sins-therefore not to be repeated.

Shall I ever be able to read that story again the one I couldn't remember? Will you tell it to me, Aslan? Oh do,do,do. Indeed,yes, I will tell it to you for years and years. But now, come. We must meet the master of this house.

Image
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal.

The mouse is a fair treat but this one would talk the hind legs off a donkey.

The more we get what we now call 'ourselves' out of the way and let Him take us over, the more truly ourselves we become.
