Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.
C. S. Lewis
The Christian has a great advantage over other men, not by being less fallen than they, nor less doomed to live in a fallen world, but by knowing that he is a fallen man in a fallen world.
C. S. Lewis
Mere change is not growth. Growth is the synthesis of change and continuity, and where there is no continuity there is no growth.
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
The longer we stay in Hell, the more we become attached to it.
C. S. Lewis
And as Jill gazed at its motionless bulk, she realized that she might as well have asked the whole mountain to move aside for her convenience.
C. S. Lewis
The true Christian's nostril is to be continually attentive to the inner cesspool.
C. S. Lewis
A Christian is not someone who never goes wrong, but one who is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin again, because the Christ-life is inside him.
C. S. Lewis
We must picture Hell as a state where everyone is perpetually concerned about his own dignity and advancement, where everyone has a grievance, and where everyone lives the deadly serious passions of envy, self-importance, and resentment.
C. S. Lewis
No good work is done anywhere without aid from the Father of Lights.
C. S. Lewis
Perhaps your own reiterated cries deafen you to the voice you hoped to hear
C. S. Lewis
Nature does not teach. A true philosophy may sometimes validate an experience of nature an experience of nature cannot validate a philosophy. Nature will not verify any theological or metaphysical proposition (or not in the manner we are now considering) she will help to show what it means.
C. S. Lewis
Homemaking is surely in reality the most important work in the world.
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
The incalculable winds of fantasy and music and poetry, the mere face of a girl, the song of a bird, or the sight of a horizon, are always blowing evil’s whole structure away.
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
Selfishness has never been admired.
C. S. Lewis
...if all we mean by our love is a craving to be loved, we are in a very deplorable state.
C. S. Lewis
Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honor millionaires, athletes, or film stars instead even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served deny it food and it will gobble poison.
C. S. Lewis
Of course, we are to pray for spiritual awakening, and in various ways we can do something toward it. But we must remember that neither Paul nor Apollos gives the increase.
