Image
The real Oxford is a close corporation of jolly, untidy, lazy, good-for-nothing humorous old men, who have been electing their own successors ever since the world began and who intend to go on with it. They'll squeeze under the Revolution or leap over it when the time comes, don't you worry.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The Scotch catechism says that man's chief end is 'to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.' But we shall then know that these are the same thing. Fully to enjoy is to glorify. In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.

Got to start by finding it, have we? Can't start by looking for it, I suppose?

Each new power won by man is a power over man as well. Each advance leaves him weaker as well as stronger.

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

Image
Grief ... gives life a permanently provisional feeling. It doesn't seem worth starting anything. I can't settle down. I yawn, I fidget, I smoke too much. Up till this I always had too little time. Now there is nothing but time. Almost pure time, empty successiveness.

Image
Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.
C. S. Lewis
Image
And I was the Lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Most people spend most of their lives doing neither what they want to be doing nor what they ought to be doing.
C. S. Lewis
Image
In the science, Evolution is a theory about changes in the myth it is a fact about improvements.
C. S. Lewis
Image
How could an idiotic universe have produced creatures whose mere dreams are so much stronger, better, subtler than itself?
C. S. Lewis
Image
It is funny how mortals always picture us as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out.

I came alive when I started loving you.

The 'frankness' of people sunk below shame is a very cheap frankness.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Alas, said Aslan, shaking his head. It will. Things always work according to their nature. She has won her heart's desire she has unwearying strength and endless days like a goddess. 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.

The best fruits are plucked for each by some hand that is not his own.

Image
Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.
