C. S. Lewis
Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it.
C. S. Lewis
Those who are enjoying something, or suffering something, together, are companions. Those who enjoy or suffer one another, are not.
C. S. Lewis
If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.
C. S. Lewis
