One of my friends loaned me The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis. It was supposed to be something about heaven and hell, and somehow I just didn't get time to read it, or maybe it didn't sound super interesting at the moment. A couple of weeks ago, a girl was telling me that it was one of her favorite books to read on an afternoon when she doesn't have anything to do. So...after a few months of it sitting on my coffee table, I picked it up and began to read...
Here are a few lines that I liked, but you have to read the book to get the whole context:)
"Ye cannot fully understand the relations of choice and Time till you are beyond both."
"...Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory. And of some sinful pleasure they say, 'Let me but have this and I'll take the consequences': little dreaming how damnation will spread back and back into their past and contaminate the pleasure of the sin. Both processes begin even before death. The good man's past begins to change so that his forgiven sins and remembered sorrows take on the quality of Heaven: the bad man's past already conforms to his badness and is filled only with dreariness."
