More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Readers are advised to remember that the devil is a liar.
C. S. Lewis
To make Christianity a private affair while banishing all privacy is to relegate it to the rainbow's end or the Greek Calends.
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 worldly man treats certain people kindly because he 'likes' them: the Christian, trying to treat every one kindly, finds him liking more and more people as he goes on - including people he could not even have imagined himself liking at the beginning.
C. S. Lewis
You can't go against the grain of the universe and not expect to get splinters.
C. S. Lewis
Once in our world, a Stable had something in it that was bigger than our whole world.
C. S. Lewis
I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy.
C. S. Lewis
There is nothing like suspense and anxiety for barricading a human's mind against the Enemy. He wants men to be concerned with what they do our business is to keep them thinking about what will happen to them.
C. S. Lewis
Humans are very seldom either totally sincere or totally hypocritical. Their moods change, their motives are mixed, and they are often quite mistaken as to what their motives are.
C. S. Lewis
The worst attitude of all would be the professional attitude which regards children in the lump as a sort of raw material which we have to handle.
C. S. Lewis
We have to be continually reminded of what we believe.
C. S. Lewis
And there’s also ‘To him that hath shall be given.’ After all, you must have a capacity to receive, or even omnipotence can’t give. Perhaps your own passion temporarily destroys the capacity.
C. S. Lewis
If Christianity was something we were making up, of course we could make it easier. But it is not.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is...the sort of love one can imagine between angels.
C. S. Lewis
Without the aid of trained emotions the intellect is powerless against the animal organism.
C. S. Lewis
I can promise you none of these things. No sphere of usefulness you are not needed there at all. No scope of your talents only forgiveness for having perverted them. No atmosphere of inquiry, for I will bring you to the land not of questions but of answers, and you shall see the face of God. (pg 40)
C. S. Lewis
You cannot go on 'explaining away' for ever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it.
C. S. Lewis
Remember He is the artist and you are the picture. You can’t see it, you can't see your true self. So quietly submit to be painted.
C. S. Lewis
You've no idea how good an old joke sounds when you take it out again after a rest of five or six hundred years.
C. S. Lewis
For He (God) seems to do nothing of himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures.
C. S. Lewis
