More quotes by C. S. Lewis
There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than the doctrine of hell, if it lay in my power. But it has the support of Scripture and, especially, of our Lord's own words it has always been held by the Christian Church, and it has the support of reason.
C. S. Lewis
Now God, who has made us, knows what we are and that our happiness lies in Him.
C. S. Lewis
The Christian life is simply a process of having your natural self changed into a Christ self, and that this process goes on very far inside. One's most private wishes, one's point of view, are the things that have to be changed.
C. S. Lewis
You know me better than you think, you know, and you shall know me better yet.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
The central Christian belief is that Christ's death has somehow put us right with God and given us a fresh start. Theories as to how it did this are another matter. A good many different theories have been held as to how it works what all Christians are agreed on is that it does work.
C. S. Lewis
Don't worry. If you really want to, you will Whether you'll like it when you do is another question.
C. S. Lewis
In Science we have been reading only the notes to a poem in Christianity we find the poem itself.
C. S. Lewis
An author should never conceive himself as bringing into existence beauty or wisdom which did not exist before, but simply and solely as trying to embody in terms of his own art some reflection of eternal Beauty and Wisdom.
C. S. Lewis
How difficult it is to avoid having a special standard for oneself.
C. S. Lewis
I hope no one who reads this book has been quite as miserable as Susan and Lucy were that night but if you have been - if you've been up all night and cried till you have no more tears left in you - you will know that there comes in the end a sort of quietness. You feel as if nothing is ever going to happen again.
C. S. Lewis
You weren't a decent man and you didn't do your best. We none of us were and none of us did.
C. S. Lewis
For you will certainly carry out God's purpose, however you act, but it makes a difference to you whether you serve like Judas or like John.
C. S. Lewis
I gave in, and admitted that God was God.
C. S. Lewis
