Provided that any of those neighbours sing out of tune or have boots that squeak, or double chins, or odd clothes, the patient will quite easily believe that their religion must therefore be somehow ridiculous.

More quotes by C. S. Lewis
All your life an unattainable ecstasy has hovered just beyond the grasp of your consciousness. The day is coming when you will wake to find, beyond all hope, that you have attained it, or else, that it was within your reach and you have lost it forever.
C. S. Lewis
Love, having become a god, becomes a demon.
C. S. Lewis
[God] will not be used as a convenience. Men or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think they can use the stairs of heaven as a shortcut to the nearest chemist's shop.
C. S. Lewis
Pure, spiritual, intellectual love shot form their faces like barbedlightning. It was so unlike the love we experience that its expressioncould easily be mistaken for ferocity.
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
If you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way.
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
In God there is no hunger that needs to be filled, only plenteousness that desires to give.
C. S. Lewis
And how could we endure to live and let time pass if we were always crying for one day or one year to come back--if we did not know that every day in a life fills the whole life with expectation and memory and that these are that day?
C. S. Lewis
“Who are you?” One who has waited long for you to speak.
C. S. Lewis
You never know what you can do until you try, and very few try unless they have to.
C. S. Lewis
I prefer being honest to being 'honest to God.'
C. S. Lewis
Disobedience to conscience makes conscience blind.
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 was wondering — I mean — could there be some mistake? Because nobody called me and Scrubb, you know. It was we who asked to come here. You would not have called me unless I had been calling you.
C. S. Lewis
As long as this deliberate refusal to understand things from above, even where such understanding is possible, continues, it is idle to talk of any final victory over materialism.
C. S. Lewis
God is not an optional extra, He's an absolute must!
C. S. Lewis
You cannot study Pleasure in the moment of the nuptial embrace, nor repentance while repenting, nor analyze the nature of humour while roaring with laughter.
C. S. Lewis
And there we all were, as invisible as you could wish to see.
C. S. Lewis
Agnostics talk cheerfully of man's search for God but they might as well talk about the mouse's search for the cat.
C. S. Lewis
