C. S. Lewis
Am I to understand,' said Reepicheep to Lucy after a long stare at Eustace, 'That this singularly discourteous person is under your Majesty's protection? Because, if not--
C. S. Lewis
The Christian has a great advantage over other men, not by being less fallen than they, nor less doomed to live in a fallen world, but by knowing that he is a fallen man in a fallen world.

C. S. Lewis
The true Christian's nostril is to be continually attentive to the inner cesspool.
C. S. Lewis
As Venus within Eros does not really aim at pleasure, so Eros does not aim at happiness. We may think he does, but when he is brought to the test it proves otherwise... For it is the very mark of Eros that when he is in us we had rather share unhappiness with the Beloved than be happy on any other terms.
C. S. Lewis
the Divine Nature wounds and perhaps destroys us merely by being what it is.
C. S. Lewis
You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you, said the Lion.
C. S. Lewis
Either Jesus is the Son of God or a madman or worse. But His being just a great teacher? He's not left that open to us.
C. S. Lewis
If a man is going to write on chemistry, he learns chemistry. The same is true of Christianity.
C. S. Lewis
But I remember more dearly autumn afternoons in bottoms that lay intensely silent under old great trees
C. S. Lewis
You can't lay down any pattern for God. There are many different ways of bringing people into his Kingdom, even some ways that I specially dislike! I have therefore learned to be cautious in my judgment.
C. S. Lewis
When all the suns and nebulae have passed away, each one of you will still be alive.
