What God begets is God…What God creates is not God.
– C. S. Lewis, Beyond Personality (NY: Macmillan, 1945), 5.

– C. S. Lewis, Beyond Personality (NY: Macmillan, 1945), 17.
When He said, “Be perfect,” He meant it…It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go in indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
– C. S. Lewis, Beyond Personality (NY: Macmillan, 1945), 42.

– C. S. Lewis, Beyond Personality (NY: Macmillan, 1945), 55.
