C. S. Lewis
Every joy is beyond all others.
C. S. Lewis
Those who would like the God of scripture to be more purely ethical, do not know what they ask.
C. S. Lewis
It's not a question of God 'sending' us to Hell. In each of us there is something growing up which will of itself be Hell unless it is nipped in the bud.
C. S. Lewis
