I am perfectly convinced that whatever the gospels are they are not legends. I have read a great deal of legend and I am quite clear they are not that sort of thing....Christ bent down and scribbled in the dust with His finger. Nothing comes of this. No one has based any doctrine on it. And the act of inventing little irrelevant details to make an imaginary scene more convincing is purely a modern art.
C. S. LewisA real desire to believe all the good you can of others and to make others as comfortable as you can will solve most of the problems.
C. S. LewisWhatever you do, He will make good of it. But not the good He had prepared for you if you had obeyed him.
C. S. LewisDo not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call "humble" nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is a nobody. Probably all you will think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him.
C. S. Lewis
