Quote

But no one except Lucy knew that as it circled the mast it had whispered to her, Courage, dear heart, and the voice, she felt sure, was Aslan's, and with the voice a delicious smell breathed in her face.

More quotes by C. S. Lewis

Image
we follow One who stood and wept at the grave of Lazarus-not surely, because He was grieved that Mary and Martha wept, and sorrowed for their lack of faith (though some thus interpret) but because death, the punishment of sin, is even more horrible in his eyes than in ours.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Those who cannot conceive of Friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a Friend.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I gave up Christianity at about 14. Came back to it when getting on for 30. Not an emotional conversion almost purely philosophical. I didn't want to. I'm not in the least a religious type. I want to be let alone, to feel I'm my own master but since the facts seemed to be just the opposite, I had to give in.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I think we all sin by needlessly disobeying the apostolic injunction to rejoice as much as by anything else
C. S. Lewis
Image
The best swordsman in the world may be disarmed by a trick that's new to him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
God can show Himself as He really is only to real men. And that means not simply to men who are individually good, but to men who are united together in a body, loving one another, helping one another, showing Him to one another. For that is what God meant humanity to be like like players in one band, or organs in one body.
C. S. Lewis
Image
At home, besides being Peter or Jane, we also bear a general character husband or wife, brother or sister, chief, colleague or subordinate. Not among Friends. It is an affair of disentangled, or stripped, minds. Eros will have naked bodies Friendship naked personalities.
C. S. Lewis
Image
All mortals tend to turn into the thing they are pretending to be. This is elementary
C. S. Lewis
Image
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
Image
Fine feelings, new insights, greater interest in ʿreligionʾ mean nothing unless they make our actual behavior better.
C. S. Lewis
Image
And since we cannot deceive the whole human race all the time, it is most important thus to cut every generation off from all others for where learning makes a free commerce between the ages there is always the danger that the characteristic errors of one may be corrected by the characteristic truths of another.
C. S. Lewis
Image
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
Image
There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Feelings, and feelings, and feelings. Let me try thinking instead.

Image
Friends are seldom found they are made.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The continual looking forward to the eternal world is not a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The question is not what we intended ourselves to be, but what He intended us to be when He made us.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I think we must attack -- wherever we meet it -- the nonsensical idea that mutually exclusive propositions about God can both be true.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The incalculable winds of fantasy and music and poetry, the mere face of a girl, the song of a bird, or the sight of a horizon, are always blowing evil’s whole structure away.
C. S. Lewis
Image
There have been times when I think we do not desire heaven but more often I find myself wondering whether, in our heart of hearts, we have ever desired anything else.
