"In the midst of a world of light and love, of song and feast and dance, [Lucifer] could find nothing to think of more interesting than his own prestige."
"The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it."
"Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness."
"Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal."
"When we are such as He can love without impediment, we shall in fact be happy."
"God will look to every soul like its first love because He is its first love."
"Certain things, if not seen as lovely or detestable, are not being correctly seen at all."
"If there is equality it is in His love, not in us."
"We need at times, some of us at most times, that Charity from others which, being Love Himself in them, loves the unlovable. But this, though a sort of love we need, is not the sort we want. We want to be loved for our cleverness, beauty, generosity, fairness, usefulness. The first hint that anyone is offering us the highest love of all is a terrible shock. This is so well recognized that spiteful people will pretend to be loving us with Charity precisely because they know that it will wound us. To say to one who expects a renewal of Affection, Friendship, or Eros, "I forgive you as a Christian" is merely a way of continuing the quarrel. Those who say it are of course lying. But the thing would not be falsely said in order to wound unless, if it were true, it would be wounding."
WAIT, WHAT DID DR. SCOTT GO TO STANFORD FOR? HE LEARNED WELL FROM CS LEWIS APPARENTLY. HEHE.
