It is a happy moment when our desire crosses with the will of Heavenly Father. C. S. Lewis
I call it Joy, which is here a technical term and must be sharply distinguished both from Happiness and Pleasure. Joy (in my sense) has indeed one characteristic, and one only, in common with them; the fact that anyone who has experienced it will want it again... I doubt whether anyone who has tasted it would ever, if both were in his power, exchange it for all the pleasures in the world. But then Joy is never in our power and Pleasure often is. C. S. Lewis

Either the day must come when joy prevails and all the makers of misery are no longer able to infect it, or else, for ever and ever, the makers of misery can destroy in others the happiness they reject for themselves. C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis quote: "Don't let your happiness depend on something you may lose."
Don't let your happiness depend on something you may lose. C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis quote: "For any happiness, even in this world, quite a lot of..."
For any happiness, even in this world, quite a lot of restraint is going to be necessary... C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis quote: "Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and..."
Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives. C. S. Lewis
The knight is a man of blood and iron, a man familiar with the sight of smashed faces and the ragged stumps of lopped-off limbs; he is also a demure, almost a maidenlike, guest in hall, a gentle, modest, unobtrusive man. He is not a compromise or happy mean between ferocity and meekness; he is fierce to the nth and meek to the nth. C. S. Lewis
