If Christianity is only one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance.
C. S. Lewis

Catch {a man} at the moment when he is really poor in spirit and smuggle into his mind the gratifying reflection, By jove, I'm being humble, and almost immediately pride - pride at his own humility - will appear.

I gave up Christianity at about 14. Came back to it when getting on for 30. Not an emotional conversion almost purely philosophical. I didn't want to. I'm not in the least a religious type. I want to be let alone, to feel I'm my own master but since the facts seemed to be just the opposite, I had to give in.

Very often the only way to get a quality in reality is to start behaving as if you had it already.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I thought I could describe a state make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, however, turns out to be not a state, but a process. It needs not a map, but a history, and if I don't stop writing that history at some quite arbitrary point, there's no reason why I should ever stop.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Writing is like a 'lust,' or like 'scratching when you itch.' Writing comes as a result of a very strong impulse, and when it does come, I for one must get it out.
C. S. Lewis

The birth of Christ is the central event in the history of the earth-- the very thing the whole story has been about.

Spying on people by magic is the same as spying on them in any other way.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Alas, said Aslan, shaking his head. It will. Things always work according to their nature. She has won her heart's desire she has unwearying strength and endless days like a goddess. But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want they do not always like it.
C. S. Lewis

You can begin as if nothing had ever gone wrong. White as snow.

Whether we like it or not, God intends to give us what we need, not what we now think we want
C. S. Lewis
Image
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.

It is in the process of being worshipped that God communicates His presence to men.

A God. The God. One word can make all the difference in the world.
