"I have done all that I was sent into the world to do, and I am ready to go."
C.S. Lewis
"If we really believe what we say we believe - if we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is a 'wandering to find home,' why should we not look forward to the arrival?"
C.S. Lewis
"There's nothing discreditable in dying: I've known the most respectable people do it!"
John Stuart Mill
"It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, are of a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question."
C.S. Lewis
"Yes, autumn is the best of the seasons; and I'm not sure that old age isn't the best part of life."
Cicero
"All that is mine, I carry with me."
Marianne Williamson
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, 'who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
C.S. Lewis
"...suffering is not good in itself. What is good in any painful experience is, for the sufferer, his submission to the will of God, and, for the spectators, the compassion aroused and the acts of mercy to which it leads."
C.S. Lewis
"What do people mean when they say, 'I am not afraid of God be cause I know He is good?' Have they never even been to a dentist?"
Walker Percy
"The peculiar predicament of the present-day self surely came to pass as a consequence of the disappointment of the high expectations of the self as it entered the age of science and technology. Dazzled by the overwhelming credentials of science, the beauty and elegance of the scientific method, the triumph of modern medicine over physical ailments, and the technological transformation of the very world itself, the self finds itself in the end disappointed by the failure of science and technique in those very sectors of life which had been its main source of ordinary satisfaction in past ages."
