C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Emerson said, Do you love me? means Do you see the same truth?-Or at least, Do you care about the same truth?
C. S. Lewis
And how could we endure to live and let time pass if we were always crying for one day or one year to come back--if we did not know that every day in a life fills the whole life with expectation and memory and that these are that day?
C. S. Lewis
The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became Man for no other purpose.
C. S. Lewis
Afflictions are... if we can so take them, our share in the Passion of Christ
C. S. Lewis
A man can't be always defending the truth there must be a time to feed on it.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
How difficult it is to avoid having a special standard for oneself.
C. S. Lewis
We treat our dogs as if they were almost human: that is why they really become almost human in the end.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Welcome, Prince, said Aslan. Do you feel yourself sufficient to take up the Kingship of Narnia? I - I don't think I do, Sir, said Caspian. I'm only a kid. Good, said Aslan. If you had felt yourself sufficient, it would have been a proof that you were not.
C. S. Lewis
But do you really mean, Sir, said Peter, that there could be other worlds-all over the place, just round the corner-like that? Nothing is more probable, said the Profesor, taking off his spectacles and beginning to polish them, while he muttered to himself, I wonder what they do teach them at these schools.
C. S. Lewis
But the most obvious fact about praise — whether of God or anything — strangely escaped me. I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor. I had never noticed that all enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise unless (sometimes even if) shyness or the fear of boring others is deliberately brought in to check it.
C. S. Lewis
Here the whole world (stars, water, air, And field, and forest, as they were Reflected in a single mind) Like cast off clothes was left behind In ashes, yet with hopes that she, Re-born from holy poverty, In lenten lands, hereafter may Resume them on her Easter Day. (Epitaph for Joy Gresham)
C. S. Lewis
Would it not be better to be dead than to have this horrible fear that Aslan has come and is not like the Aslan we have believed in and longed for? It is as if the sun rose one day and were a black sun.
C. S. Lewis
All mortals tend to turn into the thing they are pretending to be. This is elementary
