There's nothing like drawing a thing to make you really see it.

Imagination is the faculty of the mind that God has given us to make the communication of his beauty beautiful.

As awesome as life in Eden must have been like, our life in him will ultimately be far better.

If the world were good for nothing else, it is a fine subject for speculation.

Beauty is not democratic; she reveals herself more to the few than to the many.

Heaven is beautiful because it is the expression of that which is the perfection of beauty.

My latest found, Heaven's last, best gift, my ever new delight!

From the premise that Christianity is true it follows that the far-off glimpse of joy produced by fantasy is a glimpse of truth; that a great eucatastrophic tale like The Lord of the Rings is a gift of divine grace, an opening of the curtain that veils Heaven to earthly eyes, a tiny telepathic contact with the Mind of God.

Why Won't We Be Bored in Heaven? Because we are with God, and God is infinite. We never come to the end of exploring Him. He is new every day. Because we are with God, and God is eternal. Time does not pass (a condition for boredom); it just is. All time is present in eternity, as all the events of the plot are present in an author's mind. There is no waiting. Because we are with God, and God is love. Even on earth, the only people who are never bored are lovers.

People always ask me: "Why?! Oh God why?!" Mostly at the beach.

A religion that is small enough for our understanding would not be big enough for our needs.

God has put more in you than those around you can see.
