Quote

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.

Image
Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
C. S. Lewis
Image
They have chosen cunning instead of belief. Their prison is only in their minds, yet they are in that prison and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Crying is all right in its way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Agnostics talk cheerfully of man's search for God but they might as well talk about the mouse's search for the cat.
C. S. Lewis

Image
If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you are not conceited, it means that you are very conceited indeed.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Fools! said the man, stamping his foot with rage. That is the sort of talk that brought me here, and I'd better have been drowned or never born. Do you hear what I say? This is where dreams — dreams, do you understand — come to life, come real. Not daydreams: dreams.

Image
If we only have the will to walk, then God is pleased with our stumbles.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The more we get what we now call 'ourselves' out of the way and let Him take us over, the more truly ourselves we become.

Image
If you simply try to tell the truth you will, nine times out of ten, be original without ever having noticed it.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If my house has collapsed at one blow, that is because it was a house of cards. The faith which 'took these things into account' was not faith but imagination.

No good work is done anywhere without aid from the Father of Lights.

God is the food our spirits were designed to feed on.

I sometimes pray not for self-knowledge in general but for just so much self knowledge at the moment as I can bear and use at the moment the little daily dose.

Unless Christianity is wholly false, the perception of ourselves which we have in moments of shame must be the only true one.

Peter did not feel very brave indeed, he felt he was going to be sick. But that made no difference to what he had to do.
