More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.
C. S. Lewis
The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's 'own,' or 'real' life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life -- the life God is sending one day by day.
C. S. Lewis
I thought I could describe a state make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, however, turns out to be not a state, but a process. It needs not a map, but a history, and if I don't stop writing that history at some quite arbitrary point, there's no reason why I should ever stop.
C. S. Lewis
The only way to drive out bad culture is to create good culture. We need to recognize that artistic talent is a gift from the Lord - and that developing those talents is the only way to create good culture.
C. S. Lewis
By gum,' said Digory, 'Don't I just wish I was big enough to punch your head!
C. S. Lewis
We have to be continually reminded of what we believe.
C. S. Lewis
You will not find the warrior, the poet, the philosopher or the Christian by staring into his eyes as if he were your mistress: better fight beside him, read with him, argue with him, pray with him.
C. S. Lewis
But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want they do not always like it.
C. S. Lewis
The Future is, of all things, the thing least like eternity. It is the most temporal part of time--for the Past is frozen and no longer flows, and the Present is all lit up with eternal rays.
C. S. Lewis
To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God.
C. S. Lewis
We know nothing of religion here: we only think of Christ.
C. S. Lewis
Peter did not feel very brave indeed, he felt he was going to be sick. But that made no difference to what he had to do.
C. S. Lewis
It is a very funny thing that the sleepier you are, the longer you take about getting to bed.
C. S. Lewis
If tribulation is a necessary element in redemption, we must anticipate that it will never cease till God sees the world to be either redeemed or no further redeemable.
C. S. Lewis
If there is equality it is in His love, not in us.
C. S. Lewis
Even I never dreamed of Magic like this!
C. S. Lewis
I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy.
C. S. Lewis
The change which the writing wrought in me (and of which I did not write) was only a beginning only to prepare me for the gods' surgery. They used my own pen to probe my wound.
C. S. Lewis
Is any pleasure on Earth as great as a circle of Christian friends?
C. S. Lewis
I came alive when I started loving you.
C. S. Lewis
