More quotes by C. S. Lewis

Image
You must not do, you must not even try to do, the will of the Father unless you are prepared to 'know of the doctrine'.
C. S. Lewis
Image
And there, right in the middle of it, I find 'Forgive us our sins as we forgive those that sin against us.' There is no slightest suggestion that we are offered forgiveness on any other terms. It is made perfectly clear that if we do not forgive we shall not be forgiven.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If the world is meaningless, then so are we if we mean something, we do not mean alone.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in
C. S. Lewis
Image
If you thirst you may drink.
C. S. Lewis
Image
And there we all were, as invisible as you could wish to see.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The right direction leads not only to peace but to knowledge.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very' otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
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
I am a product of long corridors, empty sunlit rooms, upstairs indoor silences, attics explored in solitude, distant noises of gurgling cisterns and pipes, and the noise of wind under the tiles. Also, of endless books.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Once in our world, a Stable had something in it that was bigger than our whole world.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Of Course God does not consider you hopeless. If He did, He would not be moving you to seek Him (and He obviously is)... Continue seeking Him with seriousness. Unless He wanted you, you would not be wanting Him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I'm a beast, I am, and a Badger what's more. We don't change. We hold on.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Crying is all right in its way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise, it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We are...a Divine work of art, something that God is making...something with which He will not be satisfied until it has a certain character.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The central Christian belief is that Christ's death has somehow put us right with God and given us a fresh start.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Enemy occupied territory is what the world is.
C. S. Lewis
Image
My will, shall become your will. My heart, shall become your heart.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I have been feeling very much lately that cheerful insecurity is what our Lord asks of us.
