Daughter, I have now lived a hundred and nine winters in this world and have never yet met any such thing as Luck. There is something about all this that I do not understand: but if ever we need to know it, you may be sure that we shall.
C. S. Lewis
Love, in the Christian sense, does not mean an emotion. It is a state not of the feelings but of the will that state of the will which we have naturally about ourselves, and must learn to have about other people.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
God wants a child's heart and a grownup's head.
C. S. Lewis
Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself
C. S. Lewis
Is any pleasure on Earth as great as a circle of Christian friends?
C. S. Lewis
Good people know about both good and evil: bad people do not know about either.
C. S. Lewis
Fallen man is not simply an imperfect creature who needs improvement: he is a rebel who must lay down his arms.
C. S. Lewis
Falling in love is something that happens to us, being is love is something we do. No passion is self preservatory.
C. S. Lewis
The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal.
C. S. Lewis
Mere change is not growth. Growth is the synthesis of change and continuity, and where there is no continuity there is no growth.
C. S. Lewis
Humans are amphibians - half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time.
C. S. Lewis
Will the others see you too? asked Lucy. Certainly not at first, said Aslan. Later on, it depends. But they won’t believe me! said Lucy. It doesn’t matter.
