C. S. Lewis
If you live for the next world, you get this one in the deal but if you live only for this world, you lose them both.
C. S. Lewis
God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way.
C. S. Lewis
There have been times when I think we do not desire heaven but more often I find myself wondering whether, in our heart of hearts, we have ever desired anything else.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
To every man, in his acquaintance with a new art, there comes a moment when that which before was meaningless first lifts, as it were, one corner of the curtain that hides its mystery, and reveals, in a burst of delight which later and fuller understanding can hardly ever equal, one glimpse of the indefinite possibilities within.
