A clever schoolboy's reaction to his reading is most natural... - C.S. Lewis

"Any patch of sunlight in a wood will show you something about the sun which you could never get from reading books on astronomy. These pure and spontaneous pleasures are ‘patches of Godlight’ in the woods of our experience."

"We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be."

"Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable."

"The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal."

"The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts."
