More quotes by 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
Whenever we find that our religious life is making us feel that we are good - above all, that we are better than someone else - I think we may be sure that we are being acted on, not by God, but by the devil.
C. S. Lewis
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.
C. S. Lewis
I will not be at the mercy of the telephone!
C. S. Lewis
We may be sure that the characteristic blindness of the twentieth century [...] lies where we have never suspected it [...] The only palliative is [...] by reading old books. [...] the books of the future would be just as good [...], but unfortunately we cannot get at them.
C. S. Lewis
Our experience is coloured through and through by books and plays and the cinema, and it takes patience and skill to disentangle the things we have really learned from life for ourselves.
C. S. Lewis
It now seemed to me that all my other guesses had been only self-pleasing dreams spun out of my wishes, but now I was awake.
C. S. Lewis
If there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they're either braver than most, or else just silly.
C. S. Lewis
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.
C. S. Lewis
Do not waste time bothering whether you love your neighbor act as if you did.
C. S. Lewis
When you are not feeling particularly friendly but know you ought to be, the best thing you can do, very often, is to put on a friendly manner and behave as if you were a nicer person than you actually are. And in a few minutes, as we have all noticed, you will be really feeling friendlier than you were.
C. S. Lewis
Who will take medicine unless he knows he is in the grip of disease?
C. S. Lewis
Youth and age touch only the surface of our lives.
C. S. Lewis
There are no ordinary people.. it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit.
C. S. Lewis
As for all I can tell, the only difference is that what many see we call a real thing, and what only one sees we call a dream.
C. S. Lewis
You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
C. S. Lewis
As Venus within Eros does not really aim at pleasure, so Eros does not aim at happiness. We may think he does, but when he is brought to the test it proves otherwise... For it is the very mark of Eros that when he is in us we had rather share unhappiness with the Beloved than be happy on any other terms.
C. S. Lewis
The true enjoyments must be spontaneous and compulsive and look to no remoter end.
C. S. Lewis
That's the worst of girls, said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. They never can carry a map in their heads. That's because our heads have something inside them, said Lucy.
C. S. Lewis
The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's 'own,' or 'real' life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life -- the life God is sending one day by day.
