That fierce imprisonment in the self is but the obverse of the self-giving which is absolute reality.
C. S. LewisSince I am I, I must make an act of self-surrender, however small or however easy, in living to God rather than to my self.
C. S. LewisThis is where men, even the trustiest, fail us. Their heart is never so wholly given to any matter but that some trifle of a meal, or a drink, or a sleep, or a joke, or a girl, may come in between them and it, and then (even if you are a queen) you'll get no more good out of them until they've had their way.
C. S. LewisYe cannot know eternal reality by a definition. Time itself, and all the acts and events that fill time are the definition, and it must be lived.
