It will not bother me in the hour of death to reflect that I have been had for a sucker by any number of imposters but it would be a torment to know that one had refused even one person in need.
C. S. Lewis

Image
Almost certainly God is not in time. His life does not consist of moments one following another...Ten-thirty-- and every other moment from the beginning of the world--is always Present for Him. If you like to put it this way, He has all eternity in which to listen to the split second of prayer put up by a pilot as his plane crashes in flames.

Image
It would be nice and fairly nearly true, to say that 'from that time forth, Eustace was a different boy.' To be strictly accurate, he began to be a different boy. He had relapses. There were still many days when he could be very tiresome. But most of those I shall not notice. The cure had begun.
C. S. Lewis
Image
But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.
C. S. Lewis

More like the real thing,' said the lord Digory softly. - The Last Battle
C. S. Lewis
Image
And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.
C. S. Lewis
Image
There is nothing indulgent about the Moral Law. It is as hard as nails. If God is like the Moral Law, then He is not soft.
C. S. Lewis
Image
What do people mean when they say, 'I am not afraid of God because I know He is good'? Have they never even been to a dentist?

Image
Courtship is the time for sowing those seeds which will grow up ten years into domestic hatred.

Image
A moderated religion is as good for us as no religion at all—and more amusing.

Faith in Christ is the only thing to save you from despair.

Unless Christianity is wholly false, the perception of ourselves which we have in moments of shame must be the only true one.
