C.S.LEWIS QUOTES

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.

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.

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.”

What we call Man’s power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.

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

J.R.R.TOLKIEN QUOTES:

“The Darkness has begun; there will be no dawn
The Ships have all departed, and the magic is gone
It’s a sign of the end and the fall of many things,
A change in the tide; who knows what it brings?
A chapter that’s closed with the turn of a page
We’re standing at the end of the age”

“The board is set, the pieces are moving, we come to it at last, the great battle of our time”

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.

We do not see things as they are; we see them as we are.”

I didn’t marry you because you were perfect.  I didn’t even marry you because I loved you.  I married you because you gave me a promise.  That promise made  up for  your faults.  And the promise I gave you made up for mine.  Two imperfect people got married and it was the promise that made the marriage.  And when our children were growing up, it wasn’t a house that protected them;  and it wasn’t our love that protected them – It was that promise”
