When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him. When a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less.
C. S. LewisIf our deepest desires cannot be satisfied in this world, then we must have been made for another world.
C. S. LewisDaughter, I have now lived a hundred and nine winters in this world and have never yet met any such thing as Luck. There is something about all this that I do not understand: but if ever we need to know it, you may be sure that we shall.
C. S. LewisNo soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it is opened.
C. S. LewisVanity is really the least bad and most pardonable sort. The vain person wants praise, applause, admiration too much and is always angling for it. It is a fault, but a childlike and even (in an odd way) a humble fault. It shows that you are not yet completely contented with your own admiration. You value other people enough to want them to look at you. You are in fact still human.
C. S. Lewis
