“I'm a decretal Calvinist. I'm a five-point Calvinist. I believe it all. I'm a black-coffee Calvinist. I'm a crawl-over-broken-glass Calvinist. I wake up in the morning and I say, 'Ah, Calvinism! Another day of Calvinism! Oh boy, oh boy!”
― Douglas Wilson

“Some people seem to think that I began by asking myself how I could say something about Christianity to children; then fixed on the fairy tale as an instrument; then collected information about child psychology and decided what age-group I'd write for; then drew up a list of basic Christian truths and hammered out 'allegories' to embody them. This is all pure moonshine. I couldn't write in that way at all. Everything began with images; a faun carrying an umbrella, a queen on a sledge, a magnificent lion. At first there wasn't even anything Christian about them; that element pushed itself in its own accord.”

“If the modern materialist saw with his own eyes the heavens rolled up and the great white throne appearing, if he had the sensation of being himself hurled into the Lake of Fire, he would continue forever, in that lake itself, to regard his experience as an illusion and to find the explanation of it in psycho-analysis, or cerebral pathology. Experience by itself proves nothing. If a man doubts whether he is dreaming or waking, no experiment fan solve his doubt, since every experiment may itself be a part of the dream. Experience proves this, or that, or nothing, according to the preconceptions we bring into it.”
