Image
Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The problem of reconciling human suffering with the existence of a God who loves, is only insoluble so long as we attach a trivial meaning to the word love.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The whole difficulty of understanding Hell is that the thing to be understood is so nearly nothing.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We have not long to live in any event. Let us spend what is left in seeking the unpeopled world behind the sunrise.
C. S. Lewis

A man whose life has been transformed by Christ cannot help but have his worldview show through.
C. S. Lewis
Image
After an error you need not only to remove the causes but also to correct the error itself: after a sin you must not only, if possible, remove the temptation, you must also go back and repent the sin itself. In each case an 'undoing' is required.
C. S. Lewis
Image
How difficult it is to avoid having a special standard for oneself.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Life is too deep for words, so don't try to describe it, just live it.
C. S. Lewis
Image
He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand.
C. S. Lewis
Image
That raises a terrible question. How is it that people who are quite obviously eaten up with Pride can say they believe in God and appear to themselves very religious? I am afraid it means they are worshiping an imaginary God.
C. S. Lewis
Image
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
Image
And as Jill gazed at its motionless bulk, she realized that she might as well have asked the whole mountain to move aside for her convenience.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Devils are depicted with bats' wings and good angels with birds' wings, not because anyone holds that moral deterioration would be likely to turn feathers into membrane, but because most men like birds better than bats.
C. S. Lewis
Image
As long as you are proud, you cannot know God.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The desire for bad art is the desire bred of habit: like the smoker's desire for tobacco, more marked by the extreme malaise of denial than by any very strong delight in fruition.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Unless Christianity is wholly false, the perception of ourselves which we have in moments of shame must be the only true one.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Friendship (as the ancients saw) can be a school of virtue, but also (as they did not see) a school of vice. It is ambivalent. It makes good men better and bad men worse.
