C. S. Lewis
No mind is so good that it does not need another mind to counter and equal it, and to save it from conceit and bigotry and folly
C. S. Lewis
This wasn't a garden,' said Susan presently. 'It was a castle.
C. S. Lewis
Tea should be taken in solitude.
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
Joy is the serious business of heaven. Our merriment must be between people who take each other seriously.
C. S. Lewis
With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere.
C. S. Lewis
You can't really study people you can only get to know them.
C. S. Lewis
