C. S. Lewis
The real test of being in the presence of God is, that you either forget about yourself altogether or see yourself as a small, dirty object.
C. S. Lewis
The problem of reconciling human suffering with the existence of a God who loves, is only insoluble so long as we attach a trivial meaning to the word love.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Without sin, the universe is a Solemn Game: and there is no good game without rules.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
