more classic Lewis...

It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to. C. S. Lewis

Education without religion, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. C.S. Lewis

God is the only comfort, He is also the supreme terror: the thing we most need and the thing we most want to hide from. He is our only possible ally, and we have made ourselves His enemies. Some people talk as if meeting the gaze of absolute goodness would be fun. They need to think again. They are still only playing with religion. C.S. Lewis

A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.
C.S. Lewis

Heaven offers nothing that a mercenary soul can desire. C.S. Lewis

We must not suppose that if we succeeded in making everyone nice we should have saved their souls. A world of nice people, content in their own niceness, looking no further, turned away from God, would be just as desperately in need of salvation as a miserable world. C.S. Lewis

There is a strange proneness in us to make our opinion and practice a rule and a law to every body else, to judge of all about us by our standard, and to conclude that because we do well all do wrong that do not just as we do. Matthew Henry
