If you love deeply, you're going to get hurt badly. But it's... - C.S. Lewis

"He's not safe, but he's good (referring to Aslan, the Lion, in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe)"

"Thought is what we start from: the simple, intimate, immediate datum. Matter is the inferred thing, the mystery."

"We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito."

"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."

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