More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The fundamental laws are in the long run merely statements that every event is itself and not some different event.
C. S. Lewis
Slowly, quietly, like snow-flakes—like the small flakes that come when it is going to snow all night —little flakes of me, my impressions, my selections, are settling down on the image of her. The real shape wil be quite hidden in the end.
C. S. Lewis
That fierce imprisonment in the self is but the obverse of the self-giving which is absolute reality.
C. S. Lewis
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal.
C. S. Lewis
Imagine yourself as a living house.
C. S. Lewis
You must ask for God's help. Even when you have done so, it may seem to you for a long time that no help, or less help than you need, is being given. Never mind. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again. Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.
C. S. Lewis
Humanity does not pass through phases as a train passes through stations: being alive, it has the privilege of always moving yet never leaving anything behind. Whatever we have been, in some sort we are still.
C. S. Lewis
In God there is no hunger that needs to be filled, only plenteousness that desires to give.
C. S. Lewis
To walk out of his will is to walk into nowhere.
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
We treat our dogs as if they were almost human: that is why they really become almost human in the end.
C. S. Lewis
More like the real thing,' said the lord Digory softly. - The Last Battle
C. S. Lewis
What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by Christians on other subjects--with their Christianity latent.
C. S. Lewis
Some people probably think of the Resurrection as a desperate last moment expedient to save the Hero from a situation which had got out of the Author's control.
C. S. Lewis
With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere.
C. S. Lewis
Did I hate him, then? Indeed, I believe so. A love like that can grow to be nine-tenths hatred and still call itself love.
C. S. Lewis
Dyson and Tolkien were the immediate human causes of my conversion. Is any pleasure on earth as great as a circle of Christian friends by a good fire?
C. S. Lewis
Total war is the most humane in the long run.
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
We do not see into men’s hearts. We cannot judge, and are indeed forbidden to judge.
C. S. Lewis
