I have swallowed up girls and boys, women and men, kings and emperors, cities and realms, said the Lion. It didn't say this as if it were boasting, nor as if it were sorry, nor as if it were angry. It just said it.

More quotes by C. S. Lewis
As long as you are proud, you cannot know God.
C. S. Lewis
The beauty of life, is that you don't have to be modernly beautiful to live it.
C. S. Lewis
Very often the only way to get a quality in reality is to start behaving as if you had it already.
C. S. Lewis
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible Gods and Goddesses. To remember that the dullest, and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship.
C. S. Lewis
Remember He is the artist and you are only the picture. You can't see it. So quietly submit to be painted---i.e., keep fulfilling all the obvious duties of your station (you really know quite well enough what they are!), asking forgiveness for each failure and then leaving it alone.You are in the right way. Walk---don't keep on looking at it.
C. S. Lewis
The desire for bad art is the desire bred of habit: like the smoker's desire for tobacco, more marked by the extreme malaise of denial than by any very strong delight in fruition.
C. S. Lewis
This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.
C. S. Lewis
Friends are like coals in a fire - together, they glow apart, they grow cold.
C. S. Lewis
A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered.
C. S. Lewis
There is nothing indulgent about the Moral Law. It is as hard as nails. If God is like the Moral Law, then He is not soft.
C. S. Lewis
Since I am I, I must make an act of self-surrender, however small or however easy, in living to God rather than to my self.
C. S. Lewis
In God there is no hunger that needs to be filled, only plenteousness that desires to give.
C. S. Lewis
Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything. But no, that is not quite accurate. There is one place where her absence comes locally home to me, and it is a place I can't avoid. I mean my own body. It had such a different importance while it was the body of H.'s lover. Now it's like an empty house.
C. S. Lewis
All day I have been tossed and whirled in a preposterous happiness was it an elf in the blood? Or a bird in the brain? Or even part of the cloudily crested, fifty-league-long, loud, uplifted wave of a journeying angels transit over and through my heart?
C. S. Lewis
I have been wandering to find him and my happiness is so great that it even weakens me like a wound. And this is the marvel of marvels, that he called me Beloved, me who am but as a dog.
C. S. Lewis
I have discovered that the people who believe most strongly in the next life do the most good in the present one.
C. S. Lewis
And so take away his work, which was his life [. . .] and all his glory and his great deeds? Make a child and a dotard of him? Keep him to myself at that cost? Make him so mine that he was no longer his?
C. S. Lewis
It is wonderful what you can do when you have to.
C. S. Lewis
A noble hunger, long unsatisfied, met at last its proper food.
C. S. Lewis
The best swordsman in the world may be disarmed by a trick that's new to him.
