To see, in some measure, like God. His love and His knowledge are not distinct from one another, not from Him. We could almost say He sees because He loves, and therefore loves although He sees.

The sane would do no good if they made themselves mad to help madmen.
C. S. Lewis
We regard God as an airman regards his parachute it's there for emergencies but he hopes he'll never have to use it.
C. S. Lewis
Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.
C. S. Lewis
Imagine yourself as a living house.
C. S. Lewis
Joy is the serious business of heaven. Our merriment must be between people who take each other seriously.

A world of automata – of creatures that worked like machines – would hardly be worth creating.
C. S. Lewis
Free will, though it makes evil possible, also makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
C. S. Lewis
When they have really learned to love their neighbours as themselves, they will be allowed to love themselves as their neighbours.
C. S. Lewis
But the great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not. It is not wearied by our sins, or our indifference and, therefore, it is quite relentless in its determination that we shall be cured of those sins, at whatever cost to us, at whatever cost to Him.
C. S. Lewis
Some people probably think of the Resurrection as a desperate last moment expedient to save the Hero from a situation which had got out of the Author's control.
C. S. Lewis
Much is expected from those to whom much is given.
C. S. Lewis
The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility rather it proves the offender's inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for every one else the proper pleasure of ritual.
C. S. Lewis
This world is a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.
C. S. Lewis
But the most obvious fact about praise — whether of God or anything — strangely escaped me. I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor. I had never noticed that all enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise unless (sometimes even if) shyness or the fear of boring others is deliberately brought in to check it.
C. S. Lewis
A man can't be taken to hell, or sent to hell: you can only get there on your own steam.
C. S. Lewis
The value of the individual does not lie in him. He receives it by union with Christ.
C. S. Lewis
Friends are seldom found they are made.
C. S. Lewis
The assumption that things which have been conjured in the past will always be conjured in the guiding principle not of rational but of animal behavior.
C. S. Lewis
On many questions and specially in view of the marriage bed, the Puritans were the indulgent party, . . . they were much more Chestertonian than their adversaries. The idea that a Puritan was a repressed and repressive person would have astonished Sir Thomas More and Luther about equally.
C. S. Lewis
We must lay before him what is in us not what ought to be in us.
C. S. Lewis
