— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)

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

— C. S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins)

3 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.

4 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)

5 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)

6 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)

7 What I'm trying to say is that the pain then is part of the happiness now.

— Joy Davidman (Debra Winger)

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

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

9 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)

10 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)
