You can't know, you can only believe - or not.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship arises out of mere Companionship when two or more of the companions discover that they have in common some insight or interest or even taste which the others do not share and which, till that moment, each believed to be his own unique treasure (or burden).
C. S. Lewis
Knock and it shall be opened.' But does knocking mean hammering and kicking the door like a maniac?
C. S. Lewis
I think we all sin by needlessly disobeying the apostolic injunction to rejoice as much as by anything else
C. S. Lewis
With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere.
C. S. Lewis
If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness. And it appears, from all the records, that though He has often rebuked us and condemned us, He has never regarded us with contempt. He has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Pooh! Grown-ups are always thinking of uninteresting explanations.
C. S. Lewis
God has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.

Welcome, Prince, said Aslan. Do you feel yourself sufficient to take up the Kingship of Narnia? I - I don't think I do, Sir, said Caspian. I'm only a kid. Good, said Aslan. If you had felt yourself sufficient, it would have been a proof that you were not.
C. S. Lewis
But how can the characters in a play guess the plot? We are not the playwright, we are not the producer, we are not even the audience. We are on the stage. To play well the scenes in which we are on concerns us much more than to guess about the scenes that follow it.
C. S. Lewis
The whole difficulty of understanding Hell is that the thing to be understood is so nearly nothing.
C. S. Lewis
The worst attitude of all would be the professional attitude which regards children in the lump as a sort of raw material which we have to handle.
C. S. Lewis
Christianity asserts that every individual human being is going to live for ever, and this must be either true or false. Now there are a good many things which would not be worth bothering about if I were going to live only seventy years, but which I had better bother about very seriously if I am going to live for ever.
C. S. Lewis
Either the day must come when joy prevails and all the makers of misery are no longer able to infect it, or else, for ever and ever, the makers of misery can destroy in others the happiness they reject for themselves.
C. S. Lewis
It's like the sound of a chuckle in the darkness. The sense that some shattering and disarming simplicity is the real answer.
C. S. Lewis
You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
C. S. Lewis
When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love them.
C. S. Lewis
Most people don't need to be taught, they need only to be reminded
C. S. Lewis
