I can’t imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.

Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.

A children’s story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children’s story in the slightest.

The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.

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

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.

If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.

No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally – and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.

I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Aslan to lead it. I’m going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn’t any Narnia.

The great thing to remember is that though our feelings come and go God’s love for us does not.

Gratitude looks to the Past and love to the Present; fear, avarice, lust, and ambition look ahead.

If you love deeply, you’re going to get hurt badly. But it’s still worth it.
