What we called love down there was mostly the craving to be loved. In the main I loved you for my own sake: because I needed you...We shall have no need for one another now: we can begin to love truly.

C. S. Lewis
Our problem with desire is that we want too little.
C. S. Lewis
I have been suspected of being what is called a Fundamentalist. That is because I never regard any narrative as unhistorical simply on the ground that it includes the miraculous.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Now Eros makes a man really want, not a woman, but one particular woman. In some mysterious but quite indisputable fashion the lover desires the Beloved herself, not the pleasure she can give.
C. S. Lewis
Love, in the Christian sense, does not mean an emotion. It is a state not of the feelings but of the will that state of the will which we have naturally about ourselves, and must learn to have about other people.
C. S. Lewis
The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.
C. S. Lewis
Something of God... flows into us from the blue of the sky, the taste of honey, the delicious embrace of water whether cold or hot, and even from sleep itself.
C. S. Lewis
The only way to drive out bad culture is to create good culture. We need to recognize that artistic talent is a gift from the Lord - and that developing those talents is the only way to create good culture.
C. S. Lewis
Perhaps your own reiterated cries deafen you to the voice you hoped to hear
C. S. Lewis
If you examined a hundred people who had lost their faith in Christianity, I wonder how many of them would turn out to have reasoned out of it by honest argument? Do not most people simply drift away?
C. S. Lewis
A man is never so proud as when striking an attitude of humility.
C. S. Lewis
As long as he doesn't convert it into action, it does not matter how much a man thinks about his repentance.

And there we all were, as invisible as you could wish to see.
C. S. Lewis
