But I remember more dearly autumn afternoons in bottoms that lay intensely silent under old great trees.C.S. Lewis
Of course, I quiet agree that the Christian religion is, in the long run, a thing of unspeakable discomfort. 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. If you look for the truth, you may find comfort in the end if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth-only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and the in the end, despair.
C.S. Lewis
As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on thing and people and, of course, as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is above you.
C.S. Lewis
I believe in Christianity as I believe in the rising sun not because I see it, but by it I can see all else.
C.S. Lewis
Clearly one must read every good book at least once every ten years.
C.S. Lewis
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C.S. Lewis
