God gives His gifts where He finds the vessel empty enough to receive them.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
The descent to hell is easy and those who begin by worshipping power, soon worship evil.
C. S. Lewis
The real test of being in the presence of God is, that you either forget about yourself altogether or see yourself as a small, dirty object.
C. S. Lewis
Tea should be taken in solitude.
C. S. Lewis
I have been suspected of being what is called a Fundamentalist. That is because I never regard any narrative as unhistorical simply on the ground that it includes the miraculous.
C. S. Lewis
The road to the promised land runs past Sinai. The moral law may exist to be transcended: but there is no transcending it for those who have not first admitted its claims up on them, and then tried with all their strength to meet that claim, and fairly and squarely faced the fact of their failure.
C. S. Lewis
Truth and falsehood are opposed but truth is the norm not of truth only but of falsehood also.
C. S. Lewis
