“The settled happiness and security which we all desire, God withholds from us…
Our Father refreshes us on the journey with some pleasant inns, but will not encourage us to mistake them for home.”

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations – these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit – immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.”
“Love is something one person has for another person. If God was a single person before the world was made, He was not love.”
– C. S. Lewis
“I believe that the most lawless and inordinate loves are less contrary to God’s will than a self-invited and self-protective lovelessness.”
– C. S. Lewis
“Ha szeretsz, sebezhető vagy. Szeress bármit, és biztosra veheted, hogy megszakad a szíved, de legalábbis sebet kap.
… Csak egy helyen lehetsz teljesen biztonságban a szeretet veszélyeitől és izgalmaitól, ez pedig a pokol.”
– C. S. Lewis
“Isten nem arra teremtett, hogy mi szeressük Őt (persze arra is), hanem arra, hogy Ő szeressen minket.”
– C. S. Lewis
