More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
You can't really study people you can only get to know them.
C. S. Lewis

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
Wouldn't it be dreadful if some day in our own world, at home, men start going wild inside, like the animals here, and still look like men, so that you'd never know which were which.
C. S. Lewis
More like the real thing,' said the lord Digory softly. - The Last Battle
C. S. Lewis
Joy bursts in our lives when we go about doing the good at hand and not trying to manipulate things and times to achieve joy.
C. S. Lewis
A pipe gives a wise man time to think and a fool something to stick in his mouth.
C. S. Lewis
An author should never conceive himself as bringing into existence beauty or wisdom which did not exist before, but simply and solely as trying to embody in terms of his own art some reflection of eternal Beauty and Wisdom.
C. S. Lewis
Ink is the great cure for all human ills.
C. S. Lewis
I now see that I spent most of my life in doing neither what I ought nor what I liked.
C. S. Lewis
Be sure that the ins and outs of your individuality are no mystery to Him and one day they will no longer be a mystery to you.
C. S. Lewis
