C. S. Lewis
Friends are seldom found they are made.
C. S. Lewis

Then, indeed, there is no rescue possible: the last card has been played.
C. S. Lewis

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
They have chosen cunning instead of belief. Their prison is only in their minds, yet they are in that prison and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out.
C. S. Lewis
Without the aid of trained emotions the intellect is powerless against the animal organism.
C. S. Lewis
You must be asking which door is the true one not which pleases you best
C. S. Lewis
Isn't it absolutely essential to keep a fierce Left and fierce Right, both on their toes and each terrified of the other? That's how we get things done.
C. S. Lewis
Whether we like it or not, God intends to give us what we need, not what we now think we want
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
