C. S. LewisI believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
C. S. LewisIf nothing is self-evident, nothing can be proved. Similarly if nothing is obligatory for its own sake, nothing is obligatory at all.
C. S. LewisThough it was bright sunshine everyone felt suddenly cold. The only two people present who seemed to be quite at their ease were Aslan and the Witch herself.

C. S. LewisA perfect man would never act from a sense of duty; heโd always want the right thing more than the wrong one. Duty is only a substitute for love (of God and of other people) like a crutch which is a substitute for a leg. Most of us need the crutch at times; but of course it is idiotic to use the crutch when our own legs (our own loves, tastes, habits etc.) can do the journey on their own.
