If a man is going to write on chemistry, he learns chemistry. The same is true of Christianity.
C. S. Lewis
The very lack of evidence is thus treated as evidence the absence of smoke proves that the fire is very carefully hidden...A belief in invisible cats cannot be logically disproved although it does tell us a good deal about those who hold it.
C. S. Lewis
Remember He is the artist and you are the picture. You can’t see it, you can't see your true self. So quietly submit to be painted.
C. S. Lewis
The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.
C. S. Lewis
Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.
C. S. Lewis
Some people talk as if meeting the gaze of absolute goodness would be fun. They need to think again.
C. S. Lewis
To get even near humility, even for a moment, is like a drink of cold water to a man in a desert.
C. S. Lewis
All joy... emphasizes our pilgrim status always reminds, beckons, awakens desire. Our best havings are wantings.
C. S. Lewis
Spying on people by magic is the same as spying on them in any other way.
C. S. Lewis
No man who values originality will ever be original. But try to tell the truth as you see it, try to do any bit of work as well as it can be done for the work's sake, and what men call originality will come unsought.
C. S. Lewis
I need Christ, not something that resembles Him.
C. S. Lewis
What we learn from experience depends on the kind of philosophy we bring to experience.
C. S. Lewis
Unless Christianity is wholly false, the perception of ourselves which we have in moments of shame must be the only true one.
C. S. Lewis
You would not call a man humane for ceasing to set mousetraps if he did so because he believed there were no mice in the house.
C. S. Lewis
At the very least, they can be persuaded that the bodily position makes no difference to their prayers for they constantly forget[...]that they are animals and that whatever their bodies do affects their souls.
C. S. Lewis
It takes all sorts to make a world or a church. This may be even truer of a church. If grace perfects nature it must expand all our natures into the full richness of the diversity which God intended when He made them, and Heaven will display far more variety than Hell.
C. S. Lewis
Music. A meaningless acceleration in the rhythm of celestial experience.
C. S. Lewis
Men propound mathematical theorems in besieged cities, conduct metaphysical arguments in condemned cells, make jokes on the scaffold, discuss a new poem while advancing to the walls of Quebec, and comb their hair at Thermopylae. This is not panache it is our nature.
C. S. Lewis
Joy is the serious business of heaven.
C. S. Lewis
In your life you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some that you wish you never have to think about again. But you do.
C. S. Lewis
