Pursue the Beauty!

reflections on the intermix of beauty, grace, and suffering

C.S. Lewis on Love

Here are a few of the quotes I’ve gleaned from recent excursions into Lewis’s work. I also just requested the books Miracles and Perelandra from Paperback Swap. They always have Lewis books available. Hurray!

“Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness.”

“This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted.”

“Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.”

“Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.”
