Random Musings of C.S. Lewis

I just read an article about C.S. Lewis. I have always loved reading his stuff, and I took a great class in college solely based on his writings. Here are a few quotes of his that I thought were profound.

• "God wants to give us something, but cannot, because our hands are full -- there's nowhere for Him to put it."
  
• 
  
• "The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's 'own,' or 'real' life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life -- the life God is sending one day by day."
  
• 
  
• "Indeed, the safest road to Hell is the gradual one -- the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts."
  
• 
  
• "A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. ... You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down."
