More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Because God created the Natural - invented it out of His love and artistry - it demands our reverence.
C. S. Lewis
Your book bill ought to be your biggest extravagance.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others.
C. S. Lewis
Very few modern people think Friendship a love of comparable value or even a love at all.
C. S. Lewis
Tea should be taken in solitude.
C. S. Lewis
You weren't a decent man and you didn't do your best. We none of us were and none of us did.
C. S. Lewis
If the world is meaningless, then so are we if we mean something, we do not mean alone.
C. S. Lewis
What I like about experience is that it is such an honest thing. You may take any number of wrong turnings but keep your eyes open and you will not be allowed to go very far before the warning signs appear. You may have deceived yourself, but experience is not trying to deceive you. The universe rings true wherever you fairly test it.
C. S. Lewis
You are certainly under the guidance of the Holy Ghost or you wouldn't have come where you now are.
C. S. Lewis
I thought I could describe a state make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, however, turns out to be not a state, but a process. It needs not a map, but a history, and if I don't stop writing that history at some quite arbitrary point, there's no reason why I should ever stop.
C. S. Lewis
All get what they want they do not always like it.
C. S. Lewis
For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot love a fellow creature fully till you love God.
C. S. Lewis
The road to the promised land runs past Sinai. The moral law may exist to be transcended: but there is no transcending it for those who have not first admitted its claims up on them, and then tried with all their strength to meet that claim, and fairly and squarely faced the fact of their failure.
C. S. Lewis
To enter heaven is to become more human than you ever succeeded in being on earth to enter hell is to be banished from humanity. What is cast (or casts itself) into hell is not a man: it is 'remains.'
C. S. Lewis
Aristotle said that some people were only fit to be slaves. I do not contradict him. But I reject slavery because I see no men fit to be masters.
C. S. Lewis
There is no other day. All days are present now. This moment contains all moments.
C. S. Lewis
The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.
C. S. Lewis
The mouse is a fair treat but this one would talk the hind legs off a donkey.
C. S. Lewis
In a sense it (Christianity) creates, rather than solves, the problem of pain, for pain would be no problem unless side by side with our daily experience of this painful world, we had received what we think a good assurance that ultimate reality is righteousness and loving.
C. S. Lewis
