More quotes by C. S. Lewis
A God. The God. One word can make all the difference in the world.
C. S. Lewis
God is the only comfort, He is also the supreme terror: the thing we most need and the thing we most want to hide from.
C. S. Lewis
If we only have the will to walk, then God is pleased with our stumbles.
C. S. Lewis
Whether we like it or not, God intends to give us what we need, not what we now think we want
C. S. Lewis
His face had become very red and his mouth and fingers were sticky. He did not look either clever or handsome, whatever the Queen might say.
C. S. Lewis
And she never could remember and ever since that day what Lucy means by a good story is a story which reminds her of the forgotten story in the Magician's Book.
C. S. Lewis
Of course, we are to pray for spiritual awakening, and in various ways we can do something toward it. But we must remember that neither Paul nor Apollos gives the increase.
C. S. Lewis
We do not enjoy a story fully at the first reading. Not till the curiosity, the sheer narrative lust, has been given its sop and laid asleep, are we at leisure to savour the real beauties.
C. S. Lewis
What we learn from experience depends on the kind of philosophy we bring to experience.
C. S. Lewis
But in general, take my advice, when you meet anything that is going to be Human and isn’t yet, or used to be Human once and isn’t now, or ought to be Human and isn’t, you keep your eyes on it and feel for your hatchet.
C. S. Lewis
For the power of Man to make himself what he pleases means... the power of some men to make other men what THEY please.
C. S. Lewis
If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.
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
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
No good poem, however confessional it may be, is just a self-expression. Who on earth would claim that the pearl expresses the oyster?
C. S. Lewis
If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
C. S. Lewis
No mind is so good that it does not need another mind to counter and equal it, and to save it from conceit and bigotry and folly
C. S. Lewis
Human culture has always had to exist under the shadow of something infinitely more important than itself. If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search would never have begun.
C. S. Lewis
Even I never dreamed of Magic like this!
C. S. Lewis
When things go wrong, you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.
