Top 5 quotes from C.S. Lewis

"Reasoning is never, like poetry, judged from the outside at all."

"There will be two kinds of people in the end: Those that will say to God 'Thy will be done' and those to whom God will say 'Thy will be done.'"
"Our passions are not too strong, they are too weak. We are far too easily pleased."
