Those are the big mountains between Archenland and Narnia. I must have come through the pass in the night. What luck that I hit it! -- at least, it wasn't luck at all, really. It was Him! And now, I'm in Narnia. C. S. Lewis
Pity was meant to be a spur that drives joy to help misery. But it can be used the wrong way round. It can be used for a kind of blackmailing. Those who choose misery can hold joy up to ransom, by pity. C. S. Lewis

But it does not begin in comfort; it begins in the dismay and it is no use at all trying to go on to that comfort without first going through that dismay. In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is one thing you cannot get looking for it.

It is lawful to rest our eyes in moonlight--especially now that we know where it comes from, that it is only sunlight at second hand. C. S. Lewis

They did nothing wrong their time here has ended C. S. Lewis
When you have reached your own room, be kind to those Who have chosendifferent doors and to those who are still in the hall. C. S. Lewis
It is after you have realized that there is a real Moral Law, and a Power behind the law, and that you have broken that law and put yourself wrong with that Power -- it is after all this, and not a moment sooner, that Christianity begins to talk. C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis quote: "We might think that God wanted simply obedience to a set of..."
We might think that God wanted simply obedience to a set of rules: whereas He really wants people of a particular sort. C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis quote: "Don't think of God in terms of forms, because forms are..."
Don't think of God in terms of forms, because forms are limited and God is unlimited. C. S. Lewis
Mortal lovers must not try to remain at the first step; for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot and from it we wake in despair. C. S. Lewis

For the present is the point at which time touches eternity. C. S. Lewis
