It's always winter but it's never Christmas.
C. S. Lewis
Yes, pride is a perpetual nagging temptation. Keep on knocking it on the head, but don't be too worried about it. As long as one knows one is proud, one is safe from the worst form of pride.
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
Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion. Ooh said Susan. I'd thought he was a man. Is he-quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion...Safe? said Mr Beaver ...Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.
C. S. Lewis
Last year, when he had been staying with the Pevensies, he had managed to hear them all talking of Narnia and he loved teasing them about it. He thought of course that they were making it all up and as he was far too stupid to make anything up himself, he did not approve of that.
C. S. Lewis
Our experience is coloured through and through by books and plays and the cinema, and it takes patience and skill to disentangle the things we have really learned from life for ourselves.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot make men good by law: and without good men you cannot have a good society.
C. S. Lewis
Christian theology can fit in science, art, morality, and the sub-Christian religious. The scientific point of view cannot fit any of these things, not even science itself.
C. S. Lewis
Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.
C. S. Lewis
I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.
C. S. Lewis
His face had become very red and his mouth and fingers were sticky. He did not look either clever or handsome, whatever the Queen might say.
C. S. Lewis
I think we all sin by needlessly disobeying the apostolic injunction to rejoice as much as by anything else
C. S. Lewis
Friendship (as the ancients saw) can be a school of virtue, but also (as they did not see) a school of vice. It is ambivalent. It makes good men better and bad men worse.
C. S. Lewis
Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself
C. S. Lewis
Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.
C. S. Lewis
we follow One who stood and wept at the grave of Lazarus-not surely, because He was grieved that Mary and Martha wept, and sorrowed for their lack of faith (though some thus interpret) but because death, the punishment of sin, is even more horrible in his eyes than in ours.
C. S. Lewis
The Christians are right: it is Pride which has been the chief cause of misery in every nation and every family since the world began.
C. S. Lewis
But suppose you struggle through to the good and find that it also is dreadful? How if food itself turns out to be the very thing you can't eat, and home the very place you can't live, and your very comforter the person who makes you uncomfortable? Then, indeed, there is no rescue possible: the last card has been played.
C. S. Lewis
Man approaches God most nearly when he is in one sense least like God. For what can be more unlike than fullness and need, sovereignty and humility, righteousness and penitence, limitless power and a cry for help?
C. S. Lewis
The more pride we have, the more other people’s pride irritates us
C. S. Lewis
