C. S. Lewis
Every good book should be entertaining. A good book will be more it must not be less. Entertainment…is like a qualifying examination. If a fiction can’t provide that, we may be excused from inquiring into its higher qualities.
C. S. Lewis
If you live for the next world, you get this one in the deal but if you live only for this world, you lose them both.

C. S. Lewis
'Being in love' first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep the promise.
C. S. Lewis
I read in a periodical the other day that the fundamental thing is how we think of God. By God Himself, it is not! How God thinks of us is not only more important, but infinitely more important.
C. S. Lewis
Please,' she said, 'You're so beautiful. You may eat me if you like. I'd rather be eaten by you than fed by anyone else.

The point is that for our ancestors, the universe was a picture for modern physics it is a story.
C. S. Lewis
Every Christian would agree that a man's spiritual health is exactly proportional to his love for God.
C. S. Lewis
The doctrine of the Second Coming teaches us that we do not and cannot know when the world drama will end. The curtain may be rung down at any moment: say, before you have finished reading this paragraph.
C. S. Lewis
If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
C. S. Lewis
