when the whole group is together, each brining out all that is best, wisest, or funniest in all the others. Those are the golden sessionswhen the whole world, and something beyond the world, opens itself to our minds as we talk and no one has any claim on or any responsibility for another, but all are freedmen and equals as if we had first met an hour ago, while at the same time an Affection mellowed by the years enfolds us. Life- natural life- has no better gift to give.

C.S. Lewis
All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.
C.S. Lewis
The decay of Logic results from an untroubled assumption that the particular is real and the universal is not.
C.S. Lewis
How could an idiotic universe have produced creatures whose mere dreams are so much stronger, better, subtler than itself
C.S. Lewis
To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.
C.S. Lewis
