C. S. Lewis
The real test of being in the presence of God is, that you either forget about yourself altogether or see yourself as a small, dirty object.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing in Man is either worse or better for being shared with the beasts.

C. S. Lewis
Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.

C. S. Lewis
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place [if we anticipate and look for it, rather than wallow in our 'supposed loss'. It can be helpful to think of the loss of that blessing as simply necessary to make way for another different blessing].
C. S. Lewis
Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
C. S. Lewis
It is Christ Himself, not the Bible, who is the true Word of God. The Bible, read in the right spirit and with the guidance of good teachers, will bring us to Him.
C. S. Lewis
In Gethsemane the holiest of all petitioners prayed three times that a certain cup might pass from Him. It did not.
C. S. Lewis
Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality.
C. S. Lewis
Surely you know that if a man can't be cured of churchgoing, the next best thing is to send him all over the neighbourhood looking for the church that suits him until he becomes a taster or connoisseur of churches.
C. S. Lewis
Good, as it ripens, becomes continually more different not only from evil but from other good.
C. S. Lewis
Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man.
C. S. Lewis
