C. S. Lewis
Love is the great conqueror of lust.
C. S. Lewis
I thought I could describe a state make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, however, turns out to be not a state, but a process. It needs not a map, but a history, and if I don't stop writing that history at some quite arbitrary point, there's no reason why I should ever stop.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.
C. S. Lewis
You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
It is in the process of being worshipped that God communicates His presence to men.
C. S. Lewis
You don’t think – not possibly – not as a mere hundredth chance – there might be things that are real though we can’t see them? … If there are souls, could there not be soul-houses?
C. S. Lewis
Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.
C. S. Lewis
But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.
C. S. Lewis
