Most people spend most of their lives doing neither what they want to be doing nor what they ought to be doing.
C. S. Lewis
Where, except in uncreated light, can the darkness be drowned?
C. S. Lewis
With my mother's death all settled happiness, all that was tranquil and reliable, disappeared from my life. There was to be much fun, many pleasures, many stabs of Joy but no more of the old security. It was sea and islands now the great continent had sunk like Atlantis.
C. S. Lewis
You people have no imagination!
C. S. Lewis
If the world is meaningless, then so are we if we mean something, we do not mean alone.
C. S. Lewis
The return from the walk, and the arrival of tea, should be exactly coincident, and not later than a quarter past four.
C. S. Lewis
Christian love, either towards God or towards man, is an affair of the will.
C. S. Lewis
Christ died for men precisely because men are not worth dying for to make them worth it.
C. S. Lewis
A moderated religion is as good for us as no religion at all—and more amusing.
C. S. Lewis
Hatred obscures all distinctions.
C. S. Lewis
I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.
C. S. Lewis
It is in some ways more troublesome to track and swat an evasive wasp than to shoot, at close range, a wild elephant. But the elephant is more troublesome if you miss.
C. S. Lewis
God became man to turn creatures into sons: not simply to produce better men of the old kind but to produce a new kind of man. It is not like teaching a horse to jump better and better but like turning a horse into a winged creature.
C. S. Lewis
Prayer is either a sheer illusion or a personal contact between embryonic, incomplete persons (ourselves) and the utterly concrete Person.
C. S. Lewis
Love is unselfishly choosing for another's highest good.
C. S. Lewis
Wherever any precept of traditional morality is simply challenged to produce its credentials, as though the burden of proof lay on it, we have taken the wrong position.
C. S. Lewis
The central Christian belief is that Christ's death has somehow put us right with God and given us a fresh start. Theories as to how it did this are another matter. A good many different theories have been held as to how it works what all Christians are agreed on is that it does work.
C. S. Lewis
A particular ikon an aid to devotion may be itself a word of art, but that is logically accidental its artistic merits will not make it a better ... ikon. They may make it a worse one.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship (as the ancients saw) can be a school of virtue, but also (as they did not see) a school of vice. It is ambivalent. It makes good men better and bad men worse.
C. S. Lewis
And for all I can tell, the only difference is that what many see we call a real thing, and what only one sees we call a dream. But things that many see may have no taste or moment in them at all, and things that are shown only to one may be spears and water-spouts of truth from the very depth of truth.
C. S. Lewis
