C. S. Lewis
For He (God) seems to do nothing of himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures.
C. S. Lewis
I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.
C. S. Lewis
Either the day must come when joy prevails and all the makers of misery are no longer able to infect it, or else, for ever and ever, the makers of misery can destroy in others the happiness they reject for themselves.
C. S. Lewis
Friends are like coals in a fire - together, they glow apart, they grow cold.
C. S. Lewis
Will the others see you too? asked Lucy. Certainly not at first, said Aslan. Later on, it depends. But they won’t believe me! said Lucy. It doesn’t matter.
C. S. Lewis
Fine feelings, new insights, greater interest in ʿreligionʾ mean nothing unless they make our actual behavior better.
C. S. Lewis
