I am a quote fiend, and here I've tried to put some together that you might enjoy.  I'd like to eventually get them organized by subject (or something like that), but let's not be overly ambitious now, okay?  Anyway, enjoy...

From College:

"God does not want to eat you."

From the Master of Cogency, C. S. Lewis:

"Christian love, whether toward God or toward man, is an affair of the will."
                                ~ The Four Loves

"I believe in Christianity like I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."

"Anger is the fluid that love bleeds when you cut it."
                                ~ The Four Loves

"The horizon ceases to be the horizon when you get there."

"Affection would not be affection if it was loudly and frequently expressed; to produce it in public is like getting your furniture out for a move.  It did very well in its place, but it looks shabby or tawdry or grotesque in the sunshine."
                                ~The Four Loves

"The Prodigal Son at least walked home on his own two feet.  But who can duly adore that Love which will open the high gates to a prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape?  The words compelle intrare, compel tem to come in, have been so abused by wicked men that we shudder at them; but, properly understood, the plumb the depth of the Divine Mercy.  The hardness of God is kinder than than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation."
                                ~ Surprised by Joy

"Mere change is not growth.  Growth is the synthesis of change and continuity, and where there is no continuity, there is no growth."

"A thousand bawdy, or even blasphemous, jokes, do not help towards a mans damnation so much as his discover that almost anything he wants to do can be done, not only without the disapproval but with the admiration of his fellows, if only it can get itself treated as a Joke."
                                ~ The Screwtape Letters

"All mortals tend to turn into the things they are pretending to be."
                                ~ The Screwtape Letters

"As long as what you are afraid of is something evil, you may still hope that the good may come to your rescue  But suppose you struggle through to the good and find that it is also dreadful?  How if food itself turns out to be the very thing you can't eat, and home the very place you can't live, and your very comforter the person who makes you uncomfortable?  Then indeed there is no rescue possible; the last card has been played."
                                ~ Perelandra
