At the end of things, The Blessed will say, We have never lived anywhere except in Heaven. And the lost will say, We were always in Hell. And both will speak truly.
More Quotes from C.S. Lewis:
Quarrelling means trying to show that the other man is in the wrong. (And) There is no sense in trying to do that unless you and he had some sort of agreement as to what Righ and Wrong are...C.S. Lewis
Nothing is wonderful except in the abnormal, and nothing is abnormal until we have grasped the norm.
C.S. Lewis
The salvation of a single soul is more important than the production or preservation of all the epics and tragedies in the world.
C.S. Lewis
Reality, in fact, is usually something you could not have guessed. That is one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It is a religion you could not have guessed. If it offered us just the kind of universe we had always expected, I should feel we were making it up. But, in fact, it is not the sort of thing anyone would have made up. It has just that queer twist about it that real things have. So let us leave behind all these boys' philosophies--these over simple answers. The problem is not simple and the answer is not going to be simple either.
C.S. Lewis
Christianity simply does not make sense until you have faced the sort of facts I have been describing. Christianity tells people to repent and promises them forgiveness. It therefore has nothing (as far as I know) to say to people who do not know they have done anything to repent of and who do not feel that they need forgiveness.
C.S. Lewis
A proud man is always looking down on things and people and, of course, as long as you're looking down, you can't see something that's above you.
C.S. Lewis
