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

We sin because we see sin as a bargain. We unconsciously calculate that it’s worth it, that it pays.

Grey is the devil's favorite color.

Why pray if we cannot change God? ...is that why we pray? To change omniscient Love? Isn't it rather to learn what it is and to fulfill it? Not to change it by our acts, but to change our acts by it.

Life is always fatal. No one gets out of it alive

The Church is God's Bride. All the saints and mystics say the ultimate purpose of human life, the highest end for which we were made, is the Spiritual Marriage. This is not socially relative; it is eternal. And in it, the soul is spiritually impregnated by God, not vice versa. That is the ultimate reason why God must always be he to us, never she. Religion is essentially heterosexual and therefore fruitful.

Pride looks down, and no one can see God but by looking up.
