Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.
C. S. Lewis

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
C. S. Lewis

"But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. They kept going because they were holding on to something……There’s some good in this world... And it’s worth fighting for!" -- Sam, Lord of the Rings

"If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world." ~C.S. Lewis

"And you said 'I know that this will hurt... but if I don't break your heart, things will just get worse. And if the burden seems too much to bear, remember the end will justify the pain it took to get us there.'"

"You know that part in The Sound of Music with the gazebo? With the beautiful boy singing to Liesl? Well that's sort of how I always dreamed it would be when I was younger. I've always had that picture in my head, and I'm not ready to give up on it."
-Marissa from the O.C.
