More CS Lewis

I like CS Lewis so much, that I thought I would post a few more of his thoughts.

There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way.”

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.

Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.

it's so true that the moment I start believing that this world is the ultimate reality, i begin to lose all benefit to the kingdom.
