"Take not, oh Lord, our literal sense.  Lord, in Thy great, Unbroken speech our limping metaphor translate."

From Poems - Footnote to all prayers

"A man can't be taken to hell, or sent to hell: you can only get there on your own steam."

From The Dark Tower & Other Stories

"Almost certainly God is not in Time.  His life does not consiste of moments following one another.  If a million people are praying to Him at ten-thirty tonight, He need not listen to them all in that one little snippet which we call ten-thirty.  Ten-thirty and every other moment from the beginning of the world is always the Present for Him."

From Mere Christianity
