C. S. Lewis
The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ.
C. S. Lewis
Got to start by finding it, have we? Can't start by looking for it, I suppose?
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Everyone says that forgiveness is a lovely idea until he has something to forgive yet tasted one of the most sublime enjoyments of life.
C. S. Lewis
Youth and age touch only the surface of our lives.
C. S. Lewis
Surely arrested development consists not in refusing to lose old things but in failing to add new things.
C. S. Lewis
An author should never conceive himself as bringing into existence beauty or wisdom which did not exist before, but simply and solely as trying to embody in terms of his own art some reflection of eternal Beauty and Wisdom.
C. S. Lewis
