More quotes by C. S. Lewis
We were made not primarily that we may love God, but that God may love us.
C. S. Lewis
In the same way a Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble--because the Christ-life is inside him, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repeat (in some degree) the kind of voluntary death which Christ Himself carried out. - Mere Christianity
C. S. Lewis
That thing is Freedom: the gift whereby ye most resemble your Maker and are yourselves part of eternal reality.
C. S. Lewis
We have to be continually reminded of what we believe. Neither this belief nor any other will automatically remain alive in the mind. It must be fed.
C. S. Lewis
Once in our world, a Stable had something in it that was bigger than our whole world.
C. S. Lewis
I expect you have seen someone put a a lighted match to a bit of newspaper which is propped up in a grate against an unlit fire. And for a second nothing seems to have happened and then you notice a tiny steak of flame creeping along the edged of the newspaper. It was like that now.
C. S. Lewis
For in Calormen, story-telling (whether the stories are true or made up) is a thing you're taught, just as English boys and girls are taught essay-writing. The difference is that people want to hear the stories, whereas I never heard of anyone who wanted to read the essays.
C. S. Lewis
the Divine Nature wounds and perhaps destroys us merely by being what it is.
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
So that the one road for which we now need God's leadership most of all is a road God, in His own nature, has never walked. But suppose God became a man... He could surrender His will, suffer and die, because He was a man.
C. S. Lewis
The sane would do no good if they made themselves mad to help madmen.
C. S. Lewis
Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.
C. S. Lewis
A world of automata – of creatures that worked like machines – would hardly be worth creating.
C. S. Lewis
Each time you fall He'll pick you up. He knows your own efforts are never going to bring you anywhere near perfection
C. S. Lewis
This wasn't a garden,' said Susan presently. 'It was a castle.
C. S. Lewis
We who have been true readers all our life fully realize the enormous of our being which we owe to authors.
C. S. Lewis
There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.
C. S. Lewis
Perhaps the experience had been so complete that repetition would be vulgarity - like asking to hear the same symphony twice in a day.
C. S. Lewis
There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditures excludes them.
C. S. Lewis
Most of us are not really approaching the subject in order to find out what Christianity says we are approaching it in the hope of finding support from Christianity for the views of our own party.
C. S. Lewis
