C. S. Lewis
A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.
C. S. Lewis
No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it is opened.
C. S. Lewis
The more pride we have, the more other people’s pride irritates us
C. S. Lewis
In justifying cruelty to animals we put ourselves also on the animal level. We choose the jungle and must abide by our choice.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing in Man is either worse or better for being shared with the beasts.

Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.
C. S. Lewis
What flows into you from myth is not truth but reality (truth is always about something, but reality is that about which truth is), and therefore, every myth becomes the father of innumerable truths on the abstract level.
C. S. Lewis
Fallen man is not simply an imperfect creature who needs improvement: he is a rebel who must lay down his arms.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Death opens a door out of a little, dark room (that's all the life we have known before it) into a great, real place where the true sun shines and we shall meet.
C. S. Lewis
I want God, not my idea of God.
C. S. Lewis
At the very least, they can be persuaded that the bodily position makes no difference to their prayers for they constantly forget[...]that they are animals and that whatever their bodies do affects their souls.
C. S. Lewis
The moment good taste knows itself, some of its goodness is lost.
C. S. Lewis
He is not the soul of Nature, nor any part of Nature. He inhabits eternity: He dwells in a high and holy place: heaven is His throne, not his vehicle, earth is his footstool, not his vesture. One day he will dismantle both and make a new heaven and earth. He is not to be identified even with the 'divine spark' in man. He is 'God and not man.
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
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.
C. S. Lewis
Spying on people by magic is the same as spying on them in any other way.
C. S. Lewis
And what about you? You must be some kind of beardless dwarf?...You mean to say, that you're a daughter of Eve?...Y-yes, but, you are in fact... human?
C. S. Lewis
We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good if bad, because it works in us patience, humility, contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.
C. S. Lewis
