There are a dozen views about everything until you know the answer. Then there's never more than one.
C. S. Lewis
I think earth, if chosen instead of Heaven, will turn out to have been, all along, only a region in Hell and earth, if put second to Heaven, to have been from the beginning a part of Heaven itself.
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
That is why Christians are told not to judge. We see only the results which a man's choices make out of his raw material. But God does not judge him on the raw material at all, but on what he has done with it.
C. S. Lewis
You have not chosen one another, but I have chosen you for one another.
C. S. Lewis
All mortals tend to turn into the thing they are pretending to be. This is elementary
C. S. Lewis
Growing maturity is marked by the increasing liberties we take with our travelling... we made the discovery (some people never make it) that real books can be taken on a journey and that hours of golden reading can so be added to its other delights.
C. S. Lewis
Hell is a state of mind -- ye never said a truer word. And every state of mind, left to itself, every shutting up of the creature within the dungeon of its own mind -- is, in the end, Hell. But Heaven is not a state of mind. Heaven is reality itself. All that is fully real is Heavenly.
C. S. Lewis
Safe?” said Mr. Beaver “don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.
C. S. Lewis
Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different.
C. S. Lewis
Good beats upon the damned incessantly as sound waves beat on the ears of the deaf, but they cannot receive it. Their fists are clenched, their teeth are clenched, their eyes fast shut. First they will not, in the end they cannot, open their hands for gifts, or their mouth for food, or their eyes to see.
C. S. Lewis
Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself
C. S. Lewis
I do not think that all who choose wrong roads perish but their rescue consists in being put back on the right road.
C. S. Lewis
The love of knowledge is a kind of madness.
C. S. Lewis
Christ did not die for man because they were intrinsically worth dying for, but because he is intrinsically love, and therefore loves infinitely.
C. S. Lewis
The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.
C. S. Lewis
I was not born to be free---I was born to adore and obey.
C. S. Lewis
No one can say 'He jests at scars who never felt a wound' for I have never for one moment been in a state of mind to which even the imagination of serious pain was less than intolerable. If any man is safe from the danger of under-estimating this adversary, I am that man.
C. S. Lewis
All men alike stand condemned, not by alien codes of ethics, but by their own, and all men therefore are conscious of guilt.
C. S. Lewis
Don't worry. If you really want to, you will Whether you'll like it when you do is another question.
