This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Man's conquest of Nature, if the dreams of some scientific planners are realized, means the rule of a few hundreds of men over billions upon billions of men. There neither is nor can be any simple increase of power on Man's side. Each new power won by man is a power over man as well.

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
Image
Once in our world, a Stable had something in it that was bigger than our whole world.
C. S. Lewis
Image
One of our great allies at present is the Church itself. Do not misunderstand me. I do not mean the Church as we see her spread out through all time and space and rooted in eternity, terrible as an army with banners. That, I confess, is a spectacle which makes our boldest tempters uneasy. But fortunately it is quite invisible to these humans.

Image
Pooh! Grown-ups are always thinking of uninteresting explanations.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We all agree that forgiveness is a beautiful idea until we have to practice it.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Feelings, and feelings, and feelings. Let me try thinking instead.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We are finite and God will not call us everywhere or to support every worthy cause. And real needs are not far from us.
C. S. Lewis
Image
When once a man is launched on such an adventure as this, he must bid farewell to hopes and fears, otherwise death or deliverance will both come too late to save his honor and his reason. Ho, my beauties!
C. S. Lewis
Image
Thus we have now for many centuries triumphed over nature to the extent of making certain secondary characteristics of the male (such as the beard) disagreeable to nearly all the females—and there is more in that than you might suppose.

Image
In God's dimension, so to speak, you find a being who is three Persons while remaining one Being, just as a cube is six squares while remaining one cube.

The modern idea of a Great Man is one who stands at the lonely extremity of some single line of development--
