If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream.

More Quotes from C.S. Lewis:
The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing The longing for home For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back.C.S. Lewis
Any amount of theology can now be smuggled into people's minds under the cover of fiction without their knowing it.
C.S. Lewis
She looked at a silver birch: it would have a soft, showery voice and would look like a slender girl, with hair blown all about her face and fond of dancing. She looked at the oak: he would be a wizened, but hearty, old man with a frizzled beard and warts on his fact and hands, with hair growing out of the warts. She looked at the beech under which she was standing. Ah! --she would be the best of all. She would be a gracious goddess, smooth and stately, the Lady of the Wood.
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
Reality is harsh to the feet of shadows. But will you come?
C.S. Lewis
It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.
C.S. Lewis
