"Did I hate him, then? Indeed, I..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“I see you are an idiot, whatever else you may be.”

“The absent are easily refuted.”

“I never see why we should do anything unless it is either a duty or a pleasure! Life's short enough without filling up hours unnecessarily”

“If you will thank me '' he replied let it be for yourself alone. That the wish of giving happiness to you might add force to the other inducements which led me on I shall not attempt to deny. But your family owe me nothing. Much as I respect them I believe I thought only of you.”

“I saw what a mess a lot of people could make of their lives when they're smitten. Some of them go temporarily insane. They find a person who they think holds the key to their happiness-the only key to their happiness... My work has always been my greatest happiness”

“And for all his life it would be kindness and love that made him cry, never pain or persecution, which on the contrary only reinforced his spirit and his resolution.”

“I am misanthropos, and hate mankind, For thy part, I do wish thou wert a dog, That I might love thee something.”

“He who loves the bristle of bayonets only sees in the glitter what beforehand he feels in his heart. It is avarice and hatred; it is that quivering lip, that cold, hating eye, which built magazines and powder-houses.”
