Elisabeth Elliot
“It’s only in the cross that we can begin to harmonize this seeming contradiction between suffering and love.”
Elisabeth Elliot, Suffering Is Never for Nothing

C.S. Lewis
“In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is the one thing you cannot get by looking for it. If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth—only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and, in the end, despair. —from Mere Christianity”
C.S. Lewis, A Year with C. S. Lewis: Daily Readings from His Classic Works

Jane Austen
“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.


Jane Austen”
Jane Austen

C.S. Lewis
“We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and privacy, and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.”
C.S. Lewis, A Year with C. S. Lewis: Daily Readings from His Classic Works

Elisabeth Elliot
“And I’ve come to see that it’s through the deepest suffering that God has taught me the deepest lessons. And if we’ll trust Him for it, we can come through to the unshakable assurance that He’s in charge. He has a loving purpose. And He can transform something terrible into something wonderful. Suffering is never for nothing.”
Elisabeth Elliot, Suffering Is Never for Nothing
