The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.
C. S. Lewis
Image
when pain is to be born, a little courage helps more than much knowledge, a little human sympathy more than much courage, and the least tincture of the love of God more than all.

Image
In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
What the soul cries out for is the resurrection of the senses. Even in this life, matter would be nothing to us if it were not the source of sensations.
C. S. Lewis
Image
No good work is done anywhere without aid from the Father of Lights.

Odd, the way the less the Bible is read the more it is translated
C. S. Lewis
Image
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I gave in, and admitted that God was God, and knelt and prayed: perhaps, that night, the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England.
C. S. Lewis
Image
A society where the simple many obey the few seers can live a society where all were seers could live even more fully. But a society where the mass is still simple and the seers are no longer attended to can achieve only superficiality, baseness, ugliness, and in the end extinction. On or back we must go: to stay here is death.

Every poet and musician and artist, but for grace>Grace, is drawn away from love of the thing he tells to love of the telling till, down in Deep Hell, they cannot be interested in God at all but only in what they say about Him.
