More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Ink is the great cure for all human ills.
C. S. Lewis
The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is the hand over your whole self--all your wishes and precautions--to Christ.
C. S. Lewis
Where, except in uncreated light, can the darkness be drowned?
C. S. Lewis
Human culture has always had to exist under the shadow of something infinitely more important than itself. If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search would never have begun.
C. S. Lewis
In your life you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some that you wish you never have to think about again. But you do.
C. S. Lewis
It is very true. But even a traitor may mend. I have known one that did.
C. S. Lewis
To please God… to be a real ingredient in the divine happiness… to be loved by God, not merely pitied, but delighted in as an artist delights in his work or a father in a son- it seems impossible, a weight or burden of glory which our thoughts can hardly sustain. But so it is.
C. S. Lewis
I am a product of long corridors, empty sunlit rooms, upstairs indoor silences, attics explored in solitude, distant noises of gurgling cisterns and pipes, and the noise of wind under the tiles. Also, of endless books.
C. S. Lewis
The only way to drive out bad culture is to create good culture. We need to recognize that artistic talent is a gift from the Lord - and that developing those talents is the only way to create good culture.
C. S. Lewis
The discomfiture we feel may be our most accurate human sensation reminding us we are not quite at home here.
C. S. Lewis
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
But I remember more dearly autumn afternoons in bottoms that lay intensely silent under old great trees

C. S. Lewis
Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.
C. S. Lewis
And yet all loneliness, angers, hatreds, envies, and itchings that it contains, if rolled into one single experience and put into the scale against the least moment of the joy that is felt by the least in Heaven, would have no weight that could be registered at all. Bad cannot succeed even in being bad as truly as good is good.
C. S. Lewis
Those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis
Don't think of God in terms of forms, because forms are limited and God is unlimited.
C. S. Lewis
Courtship is the time for sowing those seeds which will grow up ten years into domestic hatred.
C. S. Lewis
Most of us, I suppose, have a secret country but for most of us it is only an imaginary country. Edmund and Lucy were luckier than other people in that respect.
C. S. Lewis
Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.
C. S. Lewis
