The Glory of God, and, as our only means of glorifying Him, the salvation of human souls, is the real business of life.
C. S. LewisThe longest way round is the shortest way home. (Quoting Alexander MacLaren, The Wearied Christ and Other Sermons)
C. S. LewisUnless the religious claims of the Bible are again acknowledged, its literary claims will, I think, be given only 'mouth honour' and that decreasingly.
C. S. LewisThe more often he feels without acting, the less he will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel.
C. S. LewisFor in grief nothing "stays put." One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral? But if a spiral, am I going up or down it? How often -- will it be for always? -- how often will the vast emptiness astonish me like a complete novelty and make me say, "I never realized my loss till this moment"? The same leg is cut off time after time.
