1 We think our childish toys bring us all the happiness there is and our nursery is the whole wide world. But something... Something must drive us out of the nursery to the world of others, and that something is suffering.

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)

2 I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that he makes us the gift of suffering. To put it another way, pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world.

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)

3 The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)

4 Don't you always say, Real life hasn't begun yet? Jack, you better be right.

— Joy Davidman (Debra Winger)

5 Pain is a tool. If you like, pain is God's megaphone... -Megaphone to rouse a deaf world.

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins), Joy Davidman (Debra Winger)

6 Well, I'm not what you might call a public figure. -Oh, you're not? I mean, you write all these books, and you give all those talks, and everything just so everybody will leave you alone?

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins), Joy Davidman (Debra Winger)

7 Why? See, if you love someone, you don't want them to suffer. You can't bear it. You want to take their suffering onto yourself. Even I feel like that. Why doesn't God?

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)

8 Beastly things, telephones. Ring, ring, ring. Stop what you're doing. Get up. Hurry, hurry. Ring, Ring, Ring. No manners at all, huh?

9 How could Joy be my wife? I'd have to love her, wouldn't I? I'd have to care more for her than for anyone else in this world. I'd have to be suffering the torments of the damned at the prospect of losing her.

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)

10 One has to say things. The moment passes, and then you're alone again. -Yes.

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)
