Catching up on some Lewis quotes...

I'm catching up on some Lewis quotes that I'll just put in some short quotes that I liked. -- drs

The longer I looked into it the more I came to suspect that I was perceiving a universal law. ['One converses better when one does not say "Let us converse"'].

Every preference of a small good to a great, or a partial good to a total good, involves the loss of the small or partial good for which the sacrifice was made.

You can't get second things by putting them first; you can get second things only by putting first things first.
-- The Business of Heaven; July 17

The infinite value of each human soul is not a Christian doctrine. God did not die for man because of some value He perceived in him. The value of each human soul considered simply in itself, out of relation to God, is zero. -- The Business of heaven; July 20   Yeah, that really isn't the stuff of our current, feel good, look for the goodness within, pop psych, nonsense.... -- drs
