The way for a person to develop a style is (a) to know exactly what he wants to say, and (b) to be sure he is saying exactly that.
C. S. LewisLove, while always forgiving of imperfections and mistakes, can never cease to will their removal.
C. S. LewisThis world is a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.
C. S. LewisWe forgive, we mortify our resentment; a week later some chain of thought carries us back to the original offence and we discover the old resentment blazing away as if nothing had been done about it at all. We need to forgive our brother seventy times seven not only for 490 offences but for one offence.
C. S. LewisMany a man, brought up in the glib profession of some shallow form of Christianity, who comes through reading Astronomy to realize for the first time how majestically indifferent most reality is to man, and who perhaps abandons his religion on that account, may at that moment be having his first genuinely religious experience.
