Satan always sends error into the world in pairs that are opposites. His great hope is that you will get so upset about one of his errors, that you'll react into the opposite one, and he's got you.

What we learn from experience depends on the kind of philosophy we bring to experience.
C. S. Lewis
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us.
C. S. Lewis
Digory never spoke on the way back, and the others were shy of speaking to him. He was very sad and he wasn't even sure all the time that he had done the right thing but whenever he remembered the shining tears in Aslan's eyes he became sure.
C. S. Lewis
Love is unselfishly choosing for another's highest good.
C. S. Lewis
There is someone I accept even though I do not approve of all he does...and that someone is me
C. S. Lewis
I think earth, if chosen instead of Heaven, will turn out to have been, all along, only a region in Hell and earth, if put second to Heaven, to have been from the beginning a part of Heaven itself.
C. S. Lewis
There is a kind of happiness and wonder that makes you serious. It is too good to waste on jokes.
C. S. Lewis
The beauty of life, is that you don't have to be modernly beautiful to live it.
C. S. Lewis
I was wondering — I mean — could there be some mistake? Because nobody called me and Scrubb, you know. It was we who asked to come here. You would not have called me unless I had been calling you.
C. S. Lewis
There was nothing medieval people liked better, or did better, than sorting out and tidying up. Of all our modern inventions I suspect that they would most have admired the card index.
C. S. Lewis
Christ did not die for man because they were intrinsically worth dying for, but because he is intrinsically love, and therefore loves infinitely.
C. S. Lewis
Your patient has become humble have you drawn his attention to the fact? All virtues are less formidable to us once the man is aware that he has them, but this is specially true of humility.
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
we follow One who stood and wept at the grave of Lazarus-not surely, because He was grieved that Mary and Martha wept, and sorrowed for their lack of faith (though some thus interpret) but because death, the punishment of sin, is even more horrible in his eyes than in ours.
C. S. Lewis
The incalculable winds of fantasy and music and poetry, the mere face of a girl, the song of a bird, or the sight of a horizon, are always blowing evil’s whole structure away.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life.
C. S. Lewis
Authority exercised with humility, and obedience accepted with delight are the very lines along which our spirits live.
C. S. Lewis
I do not think that all who choose wrong roads perish but their rescue consists in being put back on the right road.
C. S. Lewis
Knock and it shall be opened.' But does knocking mean hammering and kicking the door like a maniac?
C. S. Lewis
To every soul, God will look like its first love because He IS its first love. Your place in heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it - made for it stitch by stitch as a glove is made for a hand.
C. S. Lewis
