Authority exercised with humility, and obedience accepted with delight are the very lines along which our spirits live.
C. S. LewisAs for all I can tell, the only difference is that what many see we call a real thing, and what only one sees we call a dream.
C. S. Lewiswho can duly adore that Love which will open the high gates to a prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape? The words compelle intrare, compel them to come in, have been so abused by wicked men that we shudder at them; but, properly understood, they plumb the depth of the Divine mercy. The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of man, and His compulsion is our liberation.
C. S. Lewis
