More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The true Christian's nostril is to be continually attentive to the inner cesspool.
C. S. Lewis
We are all fallen creatures and all very hard to live with.
C. S. Lewis
Laziness means more work in the long run.
C. S. Lewis
Of course language is not an infallible guide, but it contains, with all its defects, a good deal of stored insight and experience.
C. S. Lewis
I'm a beast, I am, and a Badger what's more. We don't change. We hold on.
C. S. Lewis
From the moment a creature becomes aware of God as God and of itself as self, the terrible alternative of choosing God or self for the centre is opened to it.
C. S. Lewis
To live in a fully predictable world is not to be a man.
C. S. Lewis
God can show Himself as He really is only to real men. And that means not simply to men who are individually good, but to men who are united together in a body, loving one another, helping one another, showing Him to one another. For that is what God meant humanity to be like like players in one band, or organs in one body.
C. S. Lewis
Did I hate him, then? Indeed, I believe so. A love like that can grow to be nine-tenths hatred and still call itself love.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.
C. S. Lewis
Many people think their prayers are never answered because it is the answered ones they forget.
C. S. Lewis
One road leads home and a thousand roads lead into the wilderness.
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
Though no one would want to be sold as a slave, it is perhaps even more galling to be a sort of utility slave whom no one will buy.
C. S. Lewis
There is hope for a man who has never read Malory or Boswell or Tristam Shandy or Shakespeare's Sonnets: but what can you do with a man who says he has read them, meaning he has read them once, and thinks that this settles the matter?
C. S. Lewis
When He [God] talks of their losing their selves, He means only abandoning the clamour of self-will once they have done that, He really gives them back all their personality, and boasts (I am afraid, sincerely) that when they are wholly His they will be more themselves than ever.
C. S. Lewis
I willingly believe that the damned are, in one sense, successful, rebels to the end that the doors of hell are locked on the inside.
C. S. Lewis
It is by human avarice or human stupidity, not by the churlishness of nature, that we have poverty and overwork.
C. S. Lewis
I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.
C. S. Lewis
Imagine yourself as a living house.
C. S. Lewis
