One road leads home and a thousand roads lead into the wilderness.

Home, Wilderness, Thousand

C. S. Lewis (2014). “The Pilgrim's Regress: The Wade Annotated Edition”, p.156, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing

Some journeys take us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny.

Adventure, Home, Journey

"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe/ Taglines". www.imdb.com. 2005.

The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back.

Country, Home, Thinking

Our Heavenly Father has provided many delightful inns for us along our journey, but he takes great care to see that we do not mistake any of them for home.

Father, Mistake, Home

Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything. But no, that is not quite accurate. There is one place where her absence comes locally home to me, and it is a place I can't avoid. I mean my own body. It had such a different importance while it was the body of H.'s lover. Now it's like an empty house.

Home, Mean, Sky

C.S. Lewis (2012). “A Grief Observed”, p.8, Faber & Faber

If you are really a product of a materialistic universe, how is it that you don't feel at home there?

Wisdom, Atheist, Home

C. S. Lewis (2003). “A Mind Awake: An Anthology of C. S. Lewis”, p.21, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

If we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is a wandering to find home, why should we not look forward to the arrival?

Death, Home, Thinking

Wouldn't it be dreadful if some day in our own world, at home, men start going wild inside, like the animals here, and still look like men, so that you'd never know which were which.

Home, Animal, Men

I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now... Come further up, come further in!

Country, Real, Home

"The Last Battle " by C. S. Lewis, (Ch. 15), 1956.

But suppose you struggle through to the good and find that it also is dreadful? How if food itself turns out to be the very thing you can't eat, and home the very place you can't live, and your very comforter the person who makes you uncomfortable? Then, indeed, there is no rescue possible: the last card has been played.

Struggle, Home, Cards

C.S. Lewis (1996). “Perelandra”, p.17, Simon and Schuster

Prosperity knits a man to the world. He feels that he is finding his place in it while really it is finding its place in him. His increasing reputation, his widening circle of acquaintances, his sense of importance, the growing pressure of absorbing and agreeable work build up in him a sense of being really at home on earth which is just what we want.

Home, Men, Circles

C. S. Lewis (1995). “The Screwtape Letters”, Bantam Classics

Now we cannot...discover our failure to keep God's law except by trying our very hardest (and then failing). Unless we really try, whatever we say there will always be at the back of our minds the idea that if we try harder next time we shall succeed in being completely good. Thus, in one sense, the road back to God is a road of moral effort, of trying harder and harder. But in another sense it is not trying that is ever going tobring us home. All this trying leads up to the vital moment at which you turn to God and say, "You must do this. I can't.

Home, Law, Ideas

The discomfiture we feel may be our most accurate human sensation; reminding us we are not quite "at home" here.

Home, May, Accurate

The longest way round is the shortest way home. (Quoting Alexander MacLaren, The Wearied Christ and Other Sermons)

Home, Way, Christ

At home, besides being Peter or Jane, we also bear a general character; husband or wife, brother or sister, chief, colleague or subordinate. Not among Friends. It is an affair of disentangled, or stripped, minds. Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities.

Brother, Husband, Home

C. S. Lewis (1971). “The Four Loves”, p.82, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

The longest way round is the shortest way home

Home, Way, Rounds
