11 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)

12 I've just come up against a bit of experience. Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn. My God, you learn.

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)

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

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)

14 Twice in that life, I've been given the choice. As a boy, and as a man. The boy chose safety. The man chooses suffering.

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)

15 When my mother died, I was your age. I thought that if I prayed for her to get better and if I really believed, she'd get better. Then, she wouldn't die. But she did. -It doesn't work. -No, it doesn't work. -I don't care.

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)

16 You thought it was heaven, didn't you? -I was only a child.

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

17 And does God want us to suffer? What if the answer to that question is yes? 'Cause I'm not sure that God particularly wants us to be happy. I think he wants us to be able to love and be loved. He wants us to grow up.

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)

18 'Cause I like a good fight myself. -You do? -Yes. You sound surprised. -No. No, that's great. You like a good fight. Great. -But? -When's the last time you lost?

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

19 Give me blizzards and frozen pipes, but not this, nothing time. Not this, waiting room of the world.

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)

20 I have been really hurt, you know? First time is always the worst. That was when my mother died. -How old were you? -Nine. -That's old enough to hurt. Oh, yes. It was the end of my world.

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)
