“On the one hand, if God is wiser than we His judgement must differ from ours on many things, and not least on good and evil. What seems to us good may therefore not be good in His eyes, and what seems to us evil may not be evil.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

“Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

“suffering is not good in itself. What is good in any painful experience is, for the sufferer, his submission to the will of God, and, for the spectators, the compassion aroused and the acts of mercy to which it leads.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
