More quotes by C. S. Lewis
A man can't be taken to hell, or sent to hell: you can only get there on your own steam.
C. S. Lewis
Love as distinct from being in love is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit.
C. S. Lewis
The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.
C. S. Lewis
When we see the face of God we shall know that we have always known it. He has been a party to, has made, sustained and moved moment by moment within, all our earthly experiences of innocent love.
C. S. Lewis
This world is a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.
C. S. Lewis
That thing is Freedom: the gift whereby ye most resemble your Maker and are yourselves part of eternal reality.
C. S. Lewis
You would not call a man humane for ceasing to set mousetraps if he did so because he believed there were no mice in the house.
C. S. Lewis
An almost perfect relationship with his father was the earthly root of all his wisdom. From his own father, he said, he first learned that Fatherhood must be at the core of the universe. [speaking of George MacDonald]
C. S. Lewis
Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call humble nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is a nobody. Probably all you will think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him.
C. S. Lewis
What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.
C. S. Lewis
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.
C. S. Lewis
Child, to say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you really mean that's the whole art and joy of words.
C. S. Lewis
Every joy is beyond all others.
C. S. Lewis
Certain things, if not seen as lovely or detestable, are not being correctly seen at all.
C. S. Lewis
when pain is to be born, a little courage helps more than much knowledge, a little human sympathy more than much courage, and the least tincture of the love of God more than all.
C. S. Lewis
Man was appointed by God to have dominion over the beasts, and everything a man does to an animal is either a lawful exercise or a sacrilegious abuse of an authority by divine right.
C. S. Lewis
Some journeys take us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny.
C. S. Lewis
It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It's not the sort of comfort they supply there.
C. S. Lewis
Please,' she said, 'You're so beautiful. You may eat me if you like. I'd rather be eaten by you than fed by anyone else.
C. S. Lewis
Christianity asserts that every individual human being is going to live for ever, and this must be either true or false. Now there are a good many things which would not be worth bothering about if I were going to live only seventy years, but which I had better bother about very seriously if I am going to live for ever.
C. S. Lewis
