“It is more like a hall out of which doors open into several rooms. If I can bring anyone into that hall, I have done what I attempted.

C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
“If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
“I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now… Come further up, come further in!”
