- 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?

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

- Now, please, sit down.

- So you managed to find us.

- Yes, I used the guide, and so, you see...

- It's just that you don't look at all like C.S. Lewis.

- Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, not to mention the rest of Oxford.

- Well, so you don't like that?

- 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?

- Tea, sure. It's England, right?

- So it is. Waiter.

- Actually, look, I'm a little in awe of you, and so I'm a little tense. And when I get like that, I get kind of... I don't know.

Top rated lines from this movie

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.
I love you, Joy. I love you so much. You've made me so happy. I didn't know I could be so happy.
Well, just because something hurts, it doesn't make it more true or more significant. -No, I guess not.
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?
The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
