C.S. Lewis

"God has landed on this enemy-occupied world in human form...The perfect surrender and humiliation was undergone by Christ: perfect because He was God, surrender and humiliation because He was man."

The Case for Christianity

"God has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense."

The Problem of Pain

"To play well the scenes in which we are 'on' concerns us much more than to guess about the scenes that follow it."

The World's Last Night

"The dangers of apparent self-sufficiency explain why Our Lord regards the vices of the feckless and dissipated so much more leniently than the vices that lead to worldly success."

The Problem of Pain

“Christianity is the story of how the rightful King has landed, you might say in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in His great campaign of sabotage”

Mere Christianity
