C. S. Lewis
I do not expect old heads on young shoulders.
C. S. Lewis
Precisely because we cannot predict the moment, we must be ready at all moments.
C. S. Lewis
Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.
C. S. Lewis
There are a dozen views about everything until you know the answer. Then there's never more than one.
C. S. Lewis
Please,' she said, 'You're so beautiful. You may eat me if you like. I'd rather be eaten by you than fed by anyone else.
C. S. Lewis
Surely arrested development consists not in refusing to lose old things but in failing to add new things.
C. S. Lewis
A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.
