C. S. Lewis
A man is never so proud as when striking an attitude of humility.
C. S. Lewis
To admire Satan [in Paradise Lost] is to give one's vote not only for a world of misery, but also for a world of lies and propaganda, of wishful thinking, of incessant autobiography.

C. S. Lewis
The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only - and that is to support the ultimate career.
C. S. Lewis
At home, besides being Peter or Jane, we also bear a general character husband or wife, brother or sister, chief, colleague or subordinate. Not among Friends. It is an affair of disentangled, or stripped, minds. Eros will have naked bodies Friendship naked personalities.
C. S. Lewis
