C. S. Lewis
For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted.
C. S. Lewis
In order that we finite beings may apprehend the Emporer He translates His glory into multiple forms - into stars, woods, waters, beasts, and the bodies of men.
C. S. Lewis
Ink is the great cure for all human ills.
C. S. Lewis
When you have reached your own room, be kind to those Who have chosen different doors and to those who are still in the hall.
