More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Everything except God has some natural superior everything except unformed matter has some natural inferior.
C. S. Lewis
People talk as if grief were just a feeling -- as if it weren't the continually renewed shock of setting out again and again on familiar roads and being brought up short by the grim frontier post that now blocks them.
C. S. Lewis
Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life's problems fall into place of their own accord. J.I. Packer Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you will get neither.
C. S. Lewis
An obligation to feel can freeze feelings.
C. S. Lewis
Think of me as a fellow patient in the same hospital who, having been admitted a little earlier could give some advice.
C. S. Lewis
The mouse is a fair treat but this one would talk the hind legs off a donkey.
C. S. Lewis
The best swordsman in the world may be disarmed by a trick that's new to him.
C. S. Lewis
We have to be continually reminded of what we believe.
C. S. Lewis
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible Gods and Goddesses. To remember that the dullest, and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship.
C. S. Lewis
[the difference between the old and the new education being] in a word, the old was a kind of propagation-men transmitting manhood to men the new is merely propaganda.
C. S. Lewis
Feeling like the voice she liked best in all the world was calling her name.
C. S. Lewis
God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than of any other slackers. If you are thinking of becoming a Christian, I warn you you are embarking on something which is going to take the whole of you, brains and all.
C. S. Lewis
Ideally, we should like to define a good book as one which 'permits, invites, or compels' good reading
C. S. Lewis
Those who do not think about their own sins make up for it by thinking incessantly about the sins of others.
C. S. Lewis
A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered.
C. S. Lewis
Some people write heavily, some write lightly. I prefer the light approach because I believe there is a great deal of false reverence about. There is too much solemnity and intensity in dealing with sacred matters too much speaking in holy tones.
C. S. Lewis
Your people eat dry and tasteless flesh but it is off plates as smooth as ivory and as round as the sun.
C. S. Lewis
Man is not the centre. God does not exist for the sake of man. Man does not exist for his own sake.
C. S. Lewis
A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is alright. This is common sense really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not well you are sleeping.
C. S. Lewis
At home, besides being Peter or Jane, we also bear a general character husband or wife, brother or sister, chief, colleague or subordinate. Not among Friends. It is an affair of disentangled, or stripped, minds. Eros will have naked bodies Friendship naked personalities.
C. S. Lewis
