i watched SHADOWLANDS (starring Anthony Hopkins as C.S. Lewis) and just had to say... go and see it if you haven't already! i forgot what a great movie that is... garsh...
some awesome quotes (borrowed from www.imdb.com)
Jack: Why love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore: only the life I have lived. 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. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joy: Jack, don't you sometimes just bust to share the joke? Here's your friends thinking we're unmarried and up to all sorts of wickedness, when all along we're married and up to nothing at all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joy: Back where I come from, there's this quaint old custom. When a guy makes up his mind to marry a girl, he asks her. It's called proposing. Did I miss it?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry: Christopher can scoff, Jack, but I know how hard you've been praying; and now God is answering your prayers.
C. S. Lewis: That's not why I pray, Harry. I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God, it changes me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joy Gresham: We can't have the happiness of yesterday without the pain of today. That's the deal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. S. Lewis: Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C.S. Lewis: He comes; he sleeps; he goes. So the plot thickens.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joy Gresham: Are you TRYING to be offensive, or merely stupid?
