Ah, poor Pole. It's been to much for her, this last bit. Turned her head, I shouldn't wonder. She's beginning to see things.

More quotes by C. S. Lewis
It's like the sound of a chuckle in the darkness. The sense that some shattering and disarming simplicity is the real answer.
C. S. Lewis
A real desire to believe all the good you can of others and to make others as comfortable as you can will solve most of the problems.
C. S. Lewis
The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ.
C. S. Lewis
Either Jesus is the Son of God or a madman or worse. But His being just a great teacher? He's not left that open to us.
C. S. Lewis
Watchin' and listenin' is the thing at present not talking.
C. S. Lewis
It takes all sorts to make a world or a church. This may be even truer of a church. If grace perfects nature it must expand all our natures into the full richness of the diversity which God intended when He made them, and Heaven will display far more variety than Hell.
C. S. Lewis
Christianity asserts that every individual human being is going to live for ever, and this must be either true or false. Now there are a good many things which would not be worth bothering about if I were going to live only seventy years, but which I had better bother about very seriously if I am going to live for ever.
C. S. Lewis
One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts.
C. S. Lewis
When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him. When a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less.
C. S. Lewis
Even I never dreamed of Magic like this!
C. S. Lewis
The basic proposal of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be 'undemocratic.
C. S. Lewis
Looking for God-or Heaven-by exploring space is like reading or seeing all Shakespeare's plays in the hope that you will find Shakespeare as one of the characters.
C. S. Lewis
It may well be that by trickery of priests men have sometimes taken a mortal's voice for a god's. But it will not work the other way. No one who hears a god's voice takes it for a man's.
C. S. Lewis
The moment good taste knows itself, some of its goodness is lost.
C. S. Lewis
Pooh! Grown-ups are always thinking of uninteresting explanations.
C. S. Lewis
We have not long to live in any event. Let us spend what is left in seeking the unpeopled world behind the sunrise.
C. S. Lewis
There is wishful thinking in Hell as well as on Earth.
C. S. Lewis
Child,' said the Lion, 'I am telling you your story, not hers. No one is told any story but their own.
C. S. Lewis
If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness. And it appears, from all the records, that though He has often rebuked us and condemned us, He has never regarded us with contempt. He has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.
C. S. Lewis
If we only have the will to walk, then God is pleased with our stumbles.
C. S. Lewis
