Joy is the serious business of heaven.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The change which the writing wrought in me (and of which I did not write) was only a beginning only to prepare me for the gods' surgery. They used my own pen to probe my wound.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Everyone says that forgiveness is a lovely idea until he has something to forgive yet tasted one of the most sublime enjoyments of life.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Love, in its own nature, demands the perfecting of the beloved.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I could well believe that it is God's intention, since we have refused milder remedies, to compel [Christians] into unity, by persecution even. Satan is without doubt nothing else than a hammer in the hand of a benevolent and severe God.
C. S. Lewis

The harder you tried not to think, the more you thought.
C. S. Lewis
Image
War creates no absolutely new situation: it simply aggravates the permanent human situation so that we can no longer ignore it. Human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.
C. S. Lewis
Image
That is why Christians are told not to judge. We see only the results which a man's choices make out of his raw material. But God does not judge him on the raw material at all, but on what he has done with it.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Your people eat dry and tasteless flesh but it is off plates as smooth as ivory and as round as the sun.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Those who are enjoying something, or suffering something, together, are companions. Those who enjoy or suffer one another, are not.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Without sin, the universe is a Solemn Game: and there is no good game without rules.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Aslan's instructions always work there are no exceptions.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Have fun, even if it’s not the same kind of fun everyone else is having.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We have to be continually reminded of what we believe.
C. S. Lewis
Image
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
Image
In the truest sense, Christian pilgrims have the best of both worlds. We have joy whenever this world reminds us of the next, and we take solace whenever it does not.
C. S. Lewis
Image
A society where the simple many obey the few seers can live a society where all were seers could live even more fully. But a society where the mass is still simple and the seers are no longer attended to can achieve only superficiality, baseness, ugliness, and in the end extinction. On or back we must go: to stay here is death.
C. S. Lewis
Image
All Hell is smaller than one pebble of your earthly world but it is smaller than one atom of this world, the Real World.
C. S. Lewis

It was not for societies or states, that Christ died, but for men.
