There is nothing like suspense and anxiety for barricading a human's mind against the Enemy. He wants men to be concerned with what they do our business is to keep them thinking about what will happen to them.
C. S. Lewis
The more we get what we now call 'ourselves' out of the way and let Him take us over, the more truly ourselves we become.
C. S. Lewis
The false religion of lust is baser than the false religion of mother-love or patriotism or art: but lust is less likely to be made into a religion.
C. S. Lewis
The promise, made when I am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as I live, commits me to being true even if I cease to be in love.

C. S. Lewis
We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good if bad, because it works in us patience, humility, contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.
C. S. Lewis
Ideally, we should like to define a good book as one which 'permits, invites, or compels' good reading
C. S. Lewis
The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike...Unless we return to the crude and nursery-like belief in objective values, we perish.
C. S. Lewis
As for wrinkles--Pshaw! Why shouldn't we have wrinkles? Honorable insignia of long service in this warfare.
C. S. Lewis
Aslan's instructions always work there are no exceptions.
C. S. Lewis
Autumn is really the best of the seasons and I'm not sure that old age isn't the best part of life.
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
There are no ordinary people.. it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit.
C. S. Lewis
When I'm older I'll understand said Lucy, I am older and I don't think I want to understand, replied Edmund
C. S. Lewis
Five senses an incurably abstract intellect a haphazardly selective memory a set of preconceptions and assumptions so numerous that I can never examine more than a minority of them - never become even conscious of them all.
C. S. Lewis
Reality, in fact, is always something you couldn't have guessed. That's one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It's a religion you couldn't have guessed.
