Satan always sends error into the world in pairs that are opposites. His great hope is that you will get so upset about one of his errors, that you'll react into the opposite one, and he's got you.

More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Aren't all these notes the senseless writings of a man who won't accept the fact that there is nothing we can do with suffering except to suffer it?
C. S. Lewis
Don't think of God in terms of forms, because forms are limited and God is unlimited.
C. S. Lewis
A recovery of the old sense of sin is essential to Christianity. Christ takes it for granted that men are bad. Until we really feel this assumption of His to be true, though we are part of the world He came to save, we are not part of the audience to whom His words are addressed.
C. S. Lewis
The more often he feels without acting, the less he will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel.
C. S. Lewis
Of course all children's literature is not fantastic, so all fantastic books need not be children's books. It is still possible, even in an age so ferociously anti-romantic as our own, to write fantastic stories for adults: though you will usually need to have made a name in some more fashionable kind of literature before anyone will publish them.
C. S. Lewis
He (God) loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love.
C. S. Lewis
A pipe gives a wise man time to think and a fool something to stick in his mouth.
C. S. Lewis
Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call humble nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is a nobody. Probably all you will think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him.
C. S. Lewis
A world of automata – of creatures that worked like machines – would hardly be worth creating.
C. S. Lewis
Mercy detached from justice grows unmerciful.
C. S. Lewis
Hatred obscures all distinctions.
C. S. Lewis
Things never happen the same way twice.
C. S. Lewis
Not that I am (I think) in much danger of ceasing to believe in God. The real danger is of coming to believe such dreadful things about Him. The conclusion I dread is not 'So there's no God after all,' but 'So this is what God's really like. Deceive yourself no longer.
C. S. Lewis
When they have really learned to love their neighbours as themselves, they will be allowed to love themselves as their neighbours.
C. S. Lewis
A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered.
C. S. Lewis
Because God created the Natural - invented it out of His love and artistry - it demands our reverence.
C. S. Lewis
Imagine yourself as a living house.
C. S. Lewis
Well,' said Ransom, 'if it is a delusion, it's a pretty stubborn one.
C. S. Lewis
The most dangerous ideas in a society are not the ones being argued, but the ones that are assumed.
C. S. Lewis
I'm a beast, I am, and a Badger what's more. We don't change. We hold on.
C. S. Lewis
