Enemy occupied territory is what the world is.

The road to the promised land runs past Sinai.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Most of us, I suppose, have a secret country but for most of us it is only an imaginary country. Edmund and Lucy were luckier than other people in that respect.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Surely you know that if a man can't be cured of churchgoing, the next best thing is to send him all over the neighbourhood looking for the church that suits him until he becomes a taster or connoisseur of churches.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
C. S. Lewis
Image
One of our great allies at present is the Church itself. Do not misunderstand me. I do not mean the Church as we see her spread out through all time and space and rooted in eternity, terrible as an army with banners. That, I confess, is a spectacle which makes our boldest tempters uneasy. But fortunately it is quite invisible to these humans.

Image
The human mind has no more power of inventing a new value than of planting a new sun in the sky or a new primary color in the spectrum.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If the world is meaningless, then so are we if we mean something, we do not mean alone.
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.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
C. S. Lewis
Image
But however happy you are feeling, you can't talk with your mouth full of snow.
C. S. Lewis
Image
All is summed up in the prayer which a young female human is said to have uttered recently: O God, make me a normal twentieth-century girl! Thanks to our labors, this will mean increasingly: Make me a minx, a moron, and a parasite.
C. S. Lewis
Image
For He (God) seems to do nothing of himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I read in a periodical the other day that the fundamental thing is how we think of God. By God Himself, it is not! How God thinks of us is not only more important, but infinitely more important.
C. S. Lewis
Image
100 per cent of us die, and the percentage cannot be increased.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Enemy-occupied territory - that is what this world is.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Though we cannot experience our life as an endless present, we are eternal in God's eyes that is, in our deepest reality.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Even if there were pains in Heaven, all who understand would desire them.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Only the skilled can judge the skillfulness, but that is not the same as judging the value of the result.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The more often he feels without acting, the less he will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel.
