Hi there -

The quote sounds similiar to a couple of the lines from the film Shadowlands, which would not necessarily mean it was something that Lewis wrote himself. If he did write it, it would most likely be found in A Grief Observed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"At myself. My little puny self," said Phillipa.

"Well, you know how it feels if you begin hoping for something that you want desperately badly; you almost fight against the hope because it is too good to be true; you've been disappointed so often before. But it was no good trying to throttle this hope. It might - really, really, it just might be true. So many odd things had happened already." - from the magician's nephew

I'm not sure of this and don't have time to check it out right now, but you might also look in The Problem of Pain. A great deal of the dialogue in Shadowlands seems to reflect that book.
