Of all our modern inventions I suspect that they would most have admired the card index  (C S Lewis Quotes) Forgiving and being forgiven are two names for the same thing. The important thing is that a discord has been resolved  (C S Lewis Quotes) Badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. Goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled goodness. Evil is a parasite, not an original thing  (C S Lewis Quotes) All possible knowledge, then, depends on the validity of reasoning... Unless human reasoning is valid no science can be true  (C S Lewis Quotes) The assumption that things which have been conjured in the past will always be conjured in the guiding principle not of rational but of animal behavior  (C S Lewis Quotes) Christianity does not involve the belief that all things were made for man. it does involve the belief that God loves man and for his sake became man and died  (C S Lewis Quotes) Christ did not die for man because they were intrinsically worth dying for, but because he is intrinsically love, and therefore loves infinitely  (C S Lewis Quotes) We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good; if bad, because it works in us patience, humility, contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country  (C S Lewis Quotes) Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken.
