"Better to be miserable with her than..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“Every joy is beyond all others.”

“I care far more how humanity lives than how long. Progress, for me, means increasing goodness and happiness of individual lives. For the species, as for each man, mere longevity seems to me a contemptible ideal.”

“I have seen something like it happen in battle. A man was coming at me, I at him, to kill. Then came a sudden great gust of wind that wrapped out cloaks over our swords and almost over our eyes, so that we could do nothing to one another but must fight the wind itself. And that ridiculous contention, so foreign to the business we were on, set us both laughing, face to face - friends for a moment - and then at once enemies again and forever.”

“All love's pleasure shall not match its woe.”

“Loving someone is different from being in love with someone. You can hate someone you're in love with”

“Have you ever gotten breathless before from a beautiful face, for i see you there, my dear.”

“The cause is everything. Those even who are dearest to us must be shunted for the sake of the cause.”

“There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.”

“[When I ordered 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan] that was the first time in which I looked out at a crowd of West Point graduates and knew that some of those might not come back because of that decision.”
