C. S. Lewis
To be in love involves the most irresistible conviction that one will go on being in love until one dies, and that possession of the beloved will confer, not merely frequent ecstasies, but settled, fruitful, deep-rooted, lifelong happiness.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Child, to say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you really mean that's the whole art and joy of words.
C. S. Lewis
Your people eat dry and tasteless flesh but it is off plates as smooth as ivory and as round as the sun.
C. S. Lewis
Because we love something else more than this world, we love even this world more than those who know no other.
