Surprised By Joy quote

Surprised By Joy quote

Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't taken the time to register yet but I'm in a bit of a rush :).

I'm looking for a quote from Surprised By Joy. I seem to recall that it was in the second to last chapter and was something similar to "The harshness of God is softer than the kindness of men."

The only problem is hasn't returned any results and I don't have a copy of the book with me. Could someone please post the quote if they have the time? Thanks!

I've been a C.S. Lewis fan for some time now and this site is right up my ally. I'll be sure to register sometime soon.
