More quotes by 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
The purpose of all opprobrious language is, not to describe, but to hurt - even when, like Hamlet, we make only the shadow-passes of a soliloquised combat. We call the enemy not what we think he is but what we think he would least like to be called.
C. S. Lewis
Whether we like it or not, God intends to give us what we need, not what we now think we want
C. S. Lewis
I prefer being honest to being 'honest to God.'
C. S. Lewis
Surely you know that if a man can't be cured of churchgoing, the next best thing is to send him all over the neighbourhood looking for the church that suits him until he becomes a taster or connoisseur of churches.
C. S. Lewis
If Christianity was something we were making up, of course we could make it easier. But it is not. We cannot compete, in simplicity with people who are inventing religions. How could we? We are dealing with Fact. Of course anyone can be simple if he has no facts to bother about.
C. S. Lewis
There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight.
C. S. Lewis
The absent are easily refuted.
C. S. Lewis
He who has God and everything else has no more than he who has God only.
C. S. Lewis
Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.
C. S. Lewis
All is summed up in the prayer which a young female human is said to have uttered recently: O God, make me a normal twentieth-century girl! Thanks to our labors, this will mean increasingly: Make me a minx, a moron, and a parasite.
C. S. Lewis
We are not meant to be perpetually solemn: We must play.
C. S. Lewis
What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by Christians on other subjects--with their Christianity latent.
C. S. Lewis
God is not an optional extra, He's an absolute must!
C. S. Lewis
Put first things first and we get second things thrown in: put second things first & we lose both first and second things.
C. S. Lewis
And he writhed inside at what seemed the cruelty and unfairness of the demand. He had not yet learned that if you do one good deed your reward usually is to do another and harder and better one.
C. S. Lewis
All schools both here and in America should teach far fewer subjects far better.
C. S. Lewis
Aslan's instructions always work there are no exceptions.
C. S. Lewis
We must lay before him what is in us not what ought to be in us.
C. S. Lewis
I have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.
C. S. Lewis
