C.S. Lewis Quotes

Of All Arguments Against Love, None Makes So Strong An Appeal To My Nature As "Careful! This Might Lead You To Suffering."

To My Nature, My Temperament, Yes. Not To My Conscience. When I Respond To That Appeal I Seem To Myself To Be A Thousand Miles Away From Christ. If I Am Sure Of Anything I Am Sure That His Teaching Was Never Meant To Confirm My Congenital Preference For Safe Investments And Limited Liabilities. I Doubt Whether There Is Anything In Me That Pleases Him Less. And Who Could Conceivably Begin To Love God On Such A Prudential Ground-- Because The Security (so To Speak) Is Better? Who Could Even Include It Among The Grounds For Loving?
