Image
To please God… to be a real ingredient in the divine happiness… to be loved by God, not merely pitied, but delighted in as an artist delights in his work or a father in a son- it seems impossible, a weight or burden of glory which our thoughts can hardly sustain. But so it is.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Do not dare not to dare.
C. S. Lewis
Image
On the whole, God’s love for us is a much safer subject to think about than our love for Him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The more imagination the reader has ... the more he will do for himself. He will, at a mere hint from the author, flood wretched material with suggestion and never guess that he is himself chiefly making what he enjoys.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work. The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The command Be ye prfect is not idealistic gas. Nor is it a command to do the impossible. He said (in the Bible) that we were gods and he is going to make good his words. He will make us into a god or goddess, a dazzling, radiant, immortal creature...a bright stainless mirror which reflects back to God perfectly.
C. S. Lewis
Image
To enter heaven is to become more human than you ever succeeded in being on earth to enter hell is to be banished from humanity. What is cast (or casts itself) into hell is not a man: it is 'remains.'
C. S. Lewis
Image
I am in love and out of it I will not go.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Most of us are not really approaching the subject in order to find out what Christianity says we are approaching it in the hope of finding support from Christianity for the views of our own party.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Youth and age touch only the surface of our lives.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The value of the individual does not lie in him. He receives it by union with Christ.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If conversion makes no improvements in a man's outward actions then I think his 'conversion' was largely imaginary.
C. S. Lewis
Image
God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain.
C. S. Lewis
Image
You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
C. S. Lewis
Image
That raises a terrible question. How is it that people who are quite obviously eaten up with Pride can say they believe in God and appear to themselves very religious? I am afraid it means they are worshiping an imaginary God.
C. S. Lewis
Image
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.

Image
100 per cent of us die, and the percentage cannot be increased.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Now God, who has made us, knows what we are and that our happiness lies in Him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The central Christian belief is that Christ's death has somehow put us right with God and given us a fresh start.
C. S. Lewis
Image
As image and apprehension are in organic unity, so, for a Christian, are human body and human soul.
