C.S. Lewis

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
-C.S. Lewis

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.
-C.S. Lewis

What you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing; it also depends on what kind of a person you are.
-C.S. Lewis

Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.
-C.S. Lewis

Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.
-C.S. Lewis

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.
-C.S. Lewis
