Shall I ever be able to read that story again the one I couldn't remember? Will you tell it to me, Aslan? Oh do,do,do. Indeed,yes, I will tell it to you for years and years. But now, come. We must meet the master of this house.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
We only learn to behave ourselves in the presence of God.
C. S. Lewis
You can’t get second things by putting them first. You get second things only by putting first things first.
C. S. Lewis
Whenever all men are...hastening to be slaves or tyrants we make Liberalism the prime bogey.
C. S. Lewis
Fine feelings, new insights, greater interest in ʿreligionʾ mean nothing unless they make our actual behavior better.
C. S. Lewis
Pure, spiritual, intellectual love shot form their faces like barbedlightning. It was so unlike the love we experience that its expressioncould easily be mistaken for ferocity.
C. S. Lewis
You know me better than you think, you know, and you shall know me better yet.
C. S. Lewis
Man was appointed by God to have dominion over the beasts, and everything a man does to an animal is either a lawful exercise or a sacrilegious abuse of an authority by divine right.
C. S. Lewis
Do not dare not to dare.
C. S. Lewis
Did I hate him, then? Indeed, I believe so. A love like that can grow to be nine-tenths hatred and still call itself love.
C. S. Lewis
