Atheists in C.S. Lewis' day were as snobbish and arrogant as they are now, but better educated and more capable of debate.

Atheism is cheap on people, because it snobbishly says nine out of ten people through history have been wrong about God and have had a lie at the core of their hearts.

God gives us not only the truth but also the ability to believe it; not only the new thing to see but also the new eye to see it with.

An open mind is not an end in itself but a means to the end of finding truth.

God is love. Wraith is how His love appears to us when we sin or rebel or run away from Him. The very light that is meant to help us appears to us as our enemy when we seek the darkness.

Science only answers the question, How does it work? Or at most, What's there? Science asks what and how, philosophy asks why, myth and religion ask who. Who's in charge here? Who's the author? That's what we really long to know.

Conscience is thus explained only as the voice of God in the soul.
