C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Image
Most of us are not really approaching the subject in order to find out what Christianity says we are approaching it in the hope of finding support from Christianity for the views of our own party.
C. S. Lewis
Image
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
Image
Delight is incomplete until it is expressed.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We come to Scripture not to learn a subject but to steep ourselves in a person.
C. S. Lewis
Image
As 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.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Hell begins with a grumbling mood, always complaining, always blaming others.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.
C. S. Lewis
