“I have learned now that while those who speak about one's miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more.”
― C. S. Lewis

“Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.”
― Lewis Carroll, Jabberwocky and Other Poems

“I've had great success being a total idiot. ”
― Jerry Lewis

“An unliterary man may be defined as one who reads books once only. . . . We do not enjoy a story fully at the first reading. Not till the curiosity, the sheer narrative lust, has been given its sop and laid asleep, are we at leisure to savour the real beauties. Till then, it is like wasting great wine on a ravenous natural thirst which merely wants cold wetness.”
― C.S. Lewis, On Stories: And Other Essays on Literature

“The use of fashions in thought is to distract men from their real dangers. We direct the fashionable outcry of each generation against those vices of which it is in the least danger, and fix its approval on the virtue that is nearest the vice which we are trying to make endemic. The game is to have them all running around with fire extinguishers whenever there鈥檚 a flood; and all crowding to that side of the boat which is already nearly gone under.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

“I don't know what you mean by 'glory,'" Alice said.

Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't---till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!'"

"But glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument,'" Alice objected.

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean---neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "Which is to be master---that's all."

Alive was too much puzzled to say anything, so after a minute Humpty Dumpty began again. "They've a temper, some of them---particularly, verbs, they're the proudest---adjectives you can do anything with, but not verbs---however, I can manage the whole lot! Impenetrability! That's what I say!”
― Lewis Carroll

“Morse stared morosely at the blotting paper. "It's just not my sort of case, Lewis. I know it's not a very nice thing to say, but I just get on better when we've got a body - a body that died from unnatural causes. That's all I ask. And we haven't got a body.”
― Colin Dexter, Last Seen Wearing

“They can take tomorrow and the plans we made
They can take the music that we'll never play
All the broken dreams, take everything
Just take it away but they can never have yesterday
They can take the future that we'll never know
They can take the places that we said we would go
All the broken dreams, take everything
Just take it away but they can never have yesterday”
― Leona Lewis, Leona Lewis - Spirit

“Commissioner Harris at the far end stared along the mad pathway. This was his first child and it had already become a murderer.”

“I do not think I have ever seen a nastier-looking man... Under the black hat, when I had first seen them, the eyes had been those of an unsuccessful rapist. [on Brit poet Percy Wyndham Lewis]”

“I am not asking anyone to accept Christianity if his best reasoning tells him that the weight of the evidence is against it.”

“T谋rt谋l'la Alice sessizlik i莽inde bir s眉re bak谋艧t谋lar; neden sonra T谋rt谋l, nargilesinin marpucunu a臒z谋ndan 莽谋kar谋p, cans谋z, uykulu bir sesle Alice'e 'Kimsin sen?' diye sordu.
Bu soru, sohbete koyulmak i莽in 莽ok da cesaret verici bir ba艧lang谋莽 de臒ildi. Alice, olduk莽a mahcup bir tav谋rla 艧枚yle dedi: '艦ey efendim, yani asl谋nda 艧u an tam bilmiyorum. En az谋ndan bu sabah kalkt谋臒谋mda kim oldu臒umu biliyordum, ama o zamandan beri birka莽 kez de臒i艧tim galiba.'
'Ne demek istiyorsun?' dedi T谋rt谋l sert bir tav谋rla. 'Kendinden s枚z et bakal谋m.'
'Kendimden s枚z edemem, efendim,' dedi Alice, '莽眉nk眉 ben ben de臒ilim ki, anlatabiliyor muyum?'
'Anlatam谋yorsun,' dedi T谋rt谋l.
'脰z眉r dilerim, ama daha fazla a莽谋klayamayaca臒谋m,' diye yan谋t verdi Alice kibarca, '莽眉nk眉 kendim bile anlam谋yorum ki bu durumu;bir g眉n i莽inde bu kadar farkl谋 boylarda olmak insan谋n kafas谋n谋 allak bullak ediyor.'
'Etmez,' dedi T谋rt谋l.
'Pekala, size hen眉z 枚yle gelmiyor olabilir,' dedi Alice, 'ama d眉艧眉n眉n ki 枚nce bir krizalite -hani bir g眉n d枚n眉艧eceksiniz ya- sonra da bir kelebe臒e d枚n眉艧mek zorunda kald谋臒谋n谋zda, san谋r谋m kendinizi biraz tuhaf hissedersiniz, 枚yle de臒il mi?'
'Hi莽 de hissetmem,' dedi T谋rt谋l.
'Peki, belki sizin duygular谋n谋z farkl谋 olabilir,' dedi Alice, 'tek bildi臒im, bunlar谋n bende tuhafl谋k yaratt谋臒谋.'
'Sen!' dedi, T谋rt谋l tepeden bakarak, 'Kimsin sen?'
Bu soru her 艧eyi yeniden ba艧a d枚nd眉rm眉艧t眉.”

“Just as there are none good but God, and nothing good but goodness, so there are no loves but love its self, the very love; and that what I call the other unnatural loves, are not loves at all in their own right but become so only so far as they participate in the very love.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“I notice that, in the lecture 鈥� which Prof. Lowry gave recently, in Paris 鈥� he brought forward certain freak formulae for tartaric acid, in which hydrogen figures as bigamist 鈥� I may say, he but follows the loose example set by certain Uesanians, especially one G. N. Lewis, a Californian thermodynamiter, who has chosen to disregard the fundamental canons of chemistry鈥攆or no obvious reason other than that of indulging in premature speculation upon electrons as the cause of valency鈥�”
― Henry Edward Armstrong

“Gelece臒i g枚rebilmek i莽in tarih bilmek 莽ok 枚nemli. Birey i莽in 丑补蹿谋锄补 neyse bir ulus i莽in de tarih odur. Tarihini 莽arp谋tan bir toplum n枚rotik bir ki艧i, tarihini bilmeyen bir toplum ise 丑补蹿谋锄补s谋n谋 kaybetmi艧 insan gibidir.”

“And have you no music, no singing, no dancing now at your marriages?' 'May the Possessor keep you! I see that you are a stranger in Lewis, or you would not ask such a question,' the woman exclaimed with grief and surprise in her tone. 'It is long since we abandoned those foolish ways in Ness, and, indeed, throughout Lewis. In my young days there was hardly a house in Ness in which there was not one or two or three who could play the pipe, or the fiddle, or the trump. And I have heard it said that there were men, and women too, who could play things they called harps, and lyres, and bellow-pipes, but I do not know what these things were.' 'And why were those discontinued?' 'A blessed change came over the place and the people,' the woman replied in earnestness, 'and the good men and the good ministers who arose did away with the songs and the stories, the music and the dancing, the sports and the games, that were perverting the minds and ruining the souls of the people, leading them to folly and stumbling.' 'But how did the people themselves come to discard their sports and pastimes?' 'Oh, the good ministers and the good elders preached against them and went among the people, and besought them to forsake their follies and to return to wisdom. They made the people break and burn their pipes and fiddles.”

“The eyes of faith are not always bright. At times they can see only dim shadows, like rough shapes reflected in a worn and dusty mirror. Yet even then, especially then, the faithful are called to trust in the promises of old and to believe that the time and place of their birth are no accident. For faith sees not only that history is meaningful, that it is going someplace, but also understands its own limited role within that history.”
― Louis Markos

“鈥 stopped in the tiny garden that encloses the Tolsta war memorial. The bronze plaque lists too many names for this small place; the same surnames recur over and again. The memorial, in the shape of an open book, also remembers the many soldiers who were returning to Lewis from the Great War, only to be drowned when their ship, the Iolaire, struck rocks outside Stornoway Harbour, which is a difficult one to make sense of.”
― Kathleen Jamie, Findings

“Orice boal膬 care se supune unui tratament va fi vindecat膬: dar nu vom spune c膬 albastrul e galben ca s膬-i mul葲umim pe cei care se 卯nc膬p膬牛芒neaz膬 s膬 fie bolnavi de icter 艧i nici nu vom distruge gr膬dina lumii de dragul celor care nu suport膬 mireasma trandafirilor.”

“Relax. She won't know it's from me."

"Sure. It's not like the entire crew knows.”

“The names of my devils have excited a good deal of curiosity, and there have been many explanations, all wrong. The truth is that I aimed merely at making them nasty鈥攁nd here too I am perhaps indebted to Lindsay鈥攂y the sound. Once a name was invented, I might speculate like anyone else (and with no more authority than anyone else) as to the phonetic associations which caused the unpleasant effect. I fancy that Scrooge, screw, thumbscrew, tapeworm, and red tape all do some work in my hero鈥檚 name, and that slob, slobber, slubber, and gob have all gone into slubgob.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

“Find yourself just counting the hours until it鈥檚 bedtime. And then you sit on your own with a bottle of wine, staring at your reflection in the windows of the house that Niall built, but didn鈥檛 want to live in.”
