C. S. Lewis Quotes

But when the soul partakes of good. Or truth, which are her savoury food, By some far subtler chemistry. It is not they that change, but she, Who feels them enter with the state. Of conquerors her opened gate, Or, mirror-like, digests their ray. By turning luminous as they.(From "On a Theme From Nicolas of Cusa")

C. S. Lewis

The world is a glorious place, and filled with so many unexpected moments that I'd get lumps in my throat, as though I were watching a bride walk down the aisle - moments as eternal and full of love as the lifting of veils, the saying of vows and the moment of the first wedded kiss. Doug Coupland

And then all of a sudden, if we can make brocade work, then we've really done something, because I hate it. And that's just a reference. I don't actually hate brocade. Marc Jacobs

If God 'foresaw' our acts, it would be very hard to understand how we could be free not to do them. But suppose god is outside and above the Time-line...

Well, He know your tomorrow's actions in just the same way--because He is already in tomorrow and can simply watch you. In a sense, He does not know your action till you have done it: but the moment at which you have done it is... C. S. Lewis
