More quotes by C. S. Lewis
As image and apprehension are in organic unity, so, for a Christian, are human body and human soul.
C. S. Lewis
History is a story written by the finger of God.
C. S. Lewis
To please God… to be a real ingredient in the divine happiness… to be loved by God, not merely pitied, but delighted in as an artist delights in his work or a father in a son- it seems impossible, a weight or burden of glory which our thoughts can hardly sustain. But so it is.
C. S. Lewis
We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.
C. S. Lewis
Every poet and musician and artist, but for grace>Grace, is drawn away from love of the thing he tells to love of the telling till, down in Deep Hell, they cannot be interested in God at all but only in what they say about Him.
C. S. Lewis
Even I never dreamed of Magic like this!
C. S. Lewis
Only real risk passes the reality of faith.
C. S. Lewis
Forgive us as we forgive- we are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it is to refuse Gods mercy for ourselves.
C. S. Lewis
Some people talk as if meeting the gaze of absolute goodness would be fun. They need to think again.
C. S. Lewis
If all experienced God in the same way and returned Him an identical worship, the song of the Church triumphant would have no symphony, it would be played like an orchestra in which all instruments played the same note.
C. S. Lewis
So that the one road for which we now need God's leadership most of all is a road God, in His own nature, has never walked. But suppose God became a man... He could surrender His will, suffer and die, because He was a man.
C. S. Lewis
We have had enough, once and for all, of Hedonism--the gloomy philosophy which says that Pleasure is the only good.
C. S. Lewis
No time for better words, no time to unsay anything. -Til We Have Faces
C. S. Lewis
Much is expected from those to whom much is given.
C. S. Lewis
To see, in some measure, like God. His love and His knowledge are not distinct from one another, not from Him. We could almost say He sees because He loves, and therefore loves although He sees.
C. S. Lewis
Truth and falsehood are opposed but truth is the norm not of truth only but of falsehood also.
C. S. Lewis
The worst of sleeping out of doors is that you wake up so dreadfully early. And when you wake up you have to get up because the ground is so hard you are uncomfortable. And it makes matters worse if there is nothing but apples for breakfast and you have had nothing but apples for supper the night before.
C. S. Lewis
A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered.
C. S. Lewis
Christianity has not message for those who do not realize they are sinners.
C. S. Lewis
I gave in, and admitted that God was God.
C. S. Lewis
