More quotes by C. S. Lewis
To see, in some measure, like God. His love and His knowledge are not distinct from one another, not from Him. We could almost say He sees because He loves, and therefore loves although He sees.
C. S. Lewis
The beauty of life, is that you don't have to be modernly beautiful to live it.
C. S. Lewis
No good poem, however confessional it may be, is just a self-expression. Who on earth would claim that the pearl expresses the oyster?
C. S. Lewis
It is wonderful what you can do when you have to.
C. S. Lewis
I gave in, and admitted that God was God.
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
Each generation exercises power over its successors: and each, in so far as it modifies the environment bequeathed to it and rebels against tradition, resists and limits the power of its predecessors.
C. S. Lewis
Human culture has always had to exist under the shadow of something infinitely more important than itself. If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search would never have begun.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Do not dare not to dare.
C. S. Lewis
All schools both here and in America should teach far fewer subjects far better.
C. S. Lewis
But if we admit God, must we admit Miracle? Indeed, indeed, you have no security against it. That is the bargain. Theology says to you in effect, 'Admit God and with Him the risk of a few miracles, and I in return will ratify your faith in uniformity as regards the overwhelming majority of events.
C. S. Lewis
The human mind has no more power of inventing a new value than of planting a new sun in the sky or a new primary color in the spectrum.
C. S. Lewis
That is why Christians are told not to judge. We see only the results which a man's choices make out of his raw material. But God does not judge him on the raw material at all, but on what he has done with it.
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
Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.
C. S. Lewis
Provided that any of those neighbours sing out of tune or have boots that squeak, or double chins, or odd clothes, the patient will quite easily believe that their religion must therefore be somehow ridiculous.
C. S. Lewis
The greatest evils in the world will not be carried out by men with guns, but by men in suits sitting behind desks
C. S. Lewis
It is in some ways more troublesome to track and swat an evasive wasp than to shoot, at close range, a wild elephant. But the elephant is more troublesome if you miss.
C. S. Lewis
I dread specialists in power because they are specialists speaking outside of their special subject.
C. S. Lewis
