C. S. Lewis

"Mortal lovers must not try to remain at the first step for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot and from it we wake in despair. "

"Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things so do instincts. Our instincts are at war.... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest.... "

"There are two kinds of people those who say to God, Thy will be done, and those to whom God says, All right, then, have it your way. "
