Quote by C.S. Lewis

I ended my first book with the words 'no answer.' I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice? Only words, words; to be led out to battle against other words.

I ended my first book with the words 'no answer.' I know now

Summary

This quote reflects the realization that seeking definitive answers, especially from a higher power, may be futile. The author acknowledges that God's lack of response signifies that God is the answer itself. In the face of God's presence, questions become pointless, and attempting to answer them with mere words only leads to more meaningless battles. The quote suggests that true understanding and fulfillment can be found in embracing the inherent mystery and essence of divinity, rather than futilely seeking concrete answers.
