You know me better than you think, you know, and you shall know me better yet.
C. S. Lewis
Daughter, I have now lived a hundred and nine winters in this world and have never yet met any such thing as Luck. There is something about all this that I do not understand: but if ever we need to know it, you may be sure that we shall.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it is opened.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
I gave in, and admitted that God was God.
C. S. Lewis
A God. The God. One word can make all the difference in the world.
C. S. Lewis
He who has God and everything else has no more than he who has God only.
C. S. Lewis
Everyone who believes in God at all believes that he knows what you and I are going to do tomorrow.
C. S. Lewis
Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.
C. S. Lewis
Humans are very seldom either totally sincere or totally hypocritical. Their moods change, their motives are mixed, and they are often quite mistaken as to what their motives are.
C. S. Lewis
On the whole, God’s love for us is a much safer subject to think about than our love for Him.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot study Pleasure in the moment of the nuptial embrace, nor repentance while repenting, nor analyze the nature of humour while roaring with laughter.
C. S. Lewis
But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want they do not always like it.
C. S. Lewis
