“You die and you die and then you are beyond death.”

C.S. Lewis

“Joy is not a substitute for sex; sex is very often a substitute for Joy. I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for Joy.”

C.S. Lewis

“Got to start by finding it, have we? Can't start by looking for it, I suppose?”

C.S. Lewis

“Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.”

C.S. Lewis

“Her face was working and twitching with passion, but his looked up at the sky, still quiet, neither angry nor afraid, but a little sad.”

C.S. Lewis

“You do not see as quite as well as you think.”

C.S. Lewis

“It would be nice and fairly nearly true, to say that 'from that time forth, Eustace was a different boy.' To be strictly accurate, he began to be a different boy. He had relapses. There were still many days when he could be very tiresome. But most of those I shall not notice. The cure had begun.”

C.S. Lewis

“Dearest Daughter. I knew you would not be long in coming to me. Joy shall be yours.”

C.S. Lewis

“All this is flashy rhetoric about loving you. I never had a selfless thought since I was born. I am mercenary and self-seeking through and through: I want God, you, all friends, merely to serve my turn. Peace, re-assurance, pleasure, are the goals I seek, I cannot crawl one inch outside my proper skin: I talk of love --a scholar's parrot may talk Greek-- But, self-imprisoned, always end where I begin. Only that now you have taught me (but how late) my lack. I see the chasm. And everything you are was making My heart into a bridge by which I might get back From exile, and grow man. And now the bridge is breaking. For this I bless you as the ruin falls. The pains You give me are more precious than all other gains.”

C.S. Lewis

“I desired dragons with a profound desire.”

C.S. Lewis

“Perhaps my bad temper or my jealousy are gradually getting worse - so gradually that the increase in seventy years will not be very noticeable. But it might be absolute hell in a million years!”

C.S. Lewis

“Do not dare not to dare.”

C.S. Lewis

“The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.”

C.S. Lewis

“Pity was meant to be a spur that drives joy to help misery. But it can be used the wrong way round. It can be used for a kind of blackmailing. Those who choose misery can hold joy up to ransom, by pity.”

C.S. Lewis

“Ah, you've come over the water. Powerful wet stuff, ain't it?”

C.S. Lewis
