"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn. Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement. I gave in, and admitted that God was God."
-C.S.Lewis

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."
-C.S.Lewis

"God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing. Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind."
-C.S.Lewis

"If the whole universe has no meaning, we should nerve have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.

"If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons."
-C.S.Lewis

"If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.

"It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad."
-C.S.Lewis

"It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see one. Let's pray that the human race never escapes from Earth to spread its iniquity elsewhere."
-C.S.Lewis

"Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become."
-C.S.Lewis

"There are two kinds of people: those who say to God,"Thy will be done," and those to whom God says,"All right, then, have it your way." Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult."
-C.S.Lewis
