Wouldn't it be dreadful if some day in our own world, at home, men start going wild inside, like the animals here, and still look like men, so that you'd never know which were which.

More quotes by C. S. Lewis
You cannot make men good by law: and without good men you cannot have a good society.
C. S. Lewis
Christianity has not message for those who do not realize they are sinners.
C. S. Lewis
The desire for bad art is the desire bred of habit: like the smoker's desire for tobacco, more marked by the extreme malaise of denial than by any very strong delight in fruition.
C. S. Lewis
Each time you fall He'll pick you up. He knows your own efforts are never going to bring you anywhere near perfection
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
Badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. Goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled goodness. Evil is a parasite, not an original thing.
C. S. Lewis
Christ died for men precisely because men are not worth dying for to make them worth it.
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
A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest. He also said: No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally - and often far more - worth reading at the age of 50 and beyond.
C. S. Lewis
Our Father refreshes us on the journey with some pleasant inns, but will not encourage us to mistake them for home.
C. S. Lewis
It is very true. But even a traitor may mend. I have known one that did.
C. S. Lewis
you had nothing to say about it and yet made the nothing up into words.
C. S. Lewis
The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they must be free.
C. S. Lewis
I have been suspected of being what is called a Fundamentalist. That is because I never regard any narrative as unhistorical simply on the ground that it includes the miraculous.
C. S. Lewis
I do not expect old heads on young shoulders.
C. S. Lewis
Dyson and Tolkien were the immediate human causes of my conversion. Is any pleasure on earth as great as a circle of Christian friends by a good fire?
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
But as long as you know you're nobody special, you'll be a very decent sort of Horse, on the whole, and taking one thing with another.
C. S. Lewis
It doesn't really matter whether you grip the arms of the dentist's chair or let your hands lie in your lap. The drill drills on.
C. S. Lewis
It is wonderful what you can do when you have to.
