More quotes by C. S. Lewis
I am a product of long corridors, empty sunlit rooms, upstairs indoor silences, attics explored in solitude, distant noises of gurgling cisterns and pipes, and the noise of wind under the tiles. Also, of endless books.
C. S. Lewis
If you have a religion it must be cosmic.
C. S. Lewis
When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only person in the world.
C. S. Lewis
Human beings judge one another by their external actions. God judges them by their moral choices.
C. S. Lewis
Do not waste time bothering whether you love your neighbor act as if you did.
C. S. Lewis
The birth of Christ is the central event in the history of the earth-- the very thing the whole story has been about.
C. S. Lewis
Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say “My tooth is aching” than to say “My heart is broken.
C. S. Lewis
The more pride we have, the more other people’s pride irritates us
C. S. Lewis
I need Christ, not something that resembles Him.
C. S. Lewis
Tribulations cannot cease until God either sees us remade or sees that our remaking is now hopeless.
C. S. Lewis
Be confident small immortals. You are not the only voice that all things utter, nor is there eternal silence in the places where you cannot come.
C. S. Lewis
The demand of the loveless and the self-imprisoned that they should be allowed to blackmail the universe: that till they consent to be happy (on their own terms) no one else shall taste joy: that theirs should be the final power that Hell should be able to veto Heaven.
C. S. Lewis
Don't think of God in terms of forms, because forms are limited and God is unlimited.
C. S. Lewis
And there, right in the middle of it, I find 'Forgive us our sins as we forgive those that sin against us.' There is no slightest suggestion that we are offered forgiveness on any other terms. It is made perfectly clear that if we do not forgive we shall not be forgiven.
C. S. Lewis
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible Gods and Goddesses. To remember that the dullest, and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship.
C. S. Lewis
The devil loves 'curing' a small fault by giving you a great one.
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
In reading Chesterton, as in reading MacDonald, I did not know what I was letting myself in for. A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere — Bibles laid open, millions of surprises, as Herbert says, fine nets and stratagems. God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous.
C. S. Lewis
'Being in love' first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep the promise.
C. S. Lewis
Reality, looked at steadily, is unbearable.
C. S. Lewis
