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.

The greatest evils in the world will not be carried out by men with guns, but by men in suits sitting behind desks
C. S. Lewis
A woman means by Unselfishness chiefly taking trouble for others a man means not giving trouble to others...thus, while the woman thinks of doing good offices and the man of respecting other people's rights, each sex, without any obvious unreason, can and does regard the other as radically selfish.
C. S. Lewis
Love is the great conqueror of lust.
C. S. Lewis
My son, by all means desist from kicking the venerable and enlightened Vizier: for as a costly jewel retains its value even if hidden in a dung-hill, so old age and discretion are to be respected even in the vile persons of our subjects. Desist therefore, and tell us what you desire and propose.
C. S. Lewis
I have seen landscapes . . . which, under a particular light, make me feel that at any moment a giant might raise his head over the next ridge.
C. S. Lewis
No, I don’t wish I knew Heaven was like the picture in my Great Divorce, because, if we knew that, we should know it was no better. The good things even of this world are far too good ever to be reached by imagination. Even the common orange, you know: no one could have imagined it before he tasted it. How much less Heaven.
C. S. Lewis
No man who says, 'I'm as good as you,' believes it. He would not say it if he did.
C. S. Lewis
Child,' said the Lion, 'I am telling you your story, not hers. No one is told any story but their own.
C. S. Lewis
To make Christianity a private affair while banishing all privacy is to relegate it to the rainbow's end or the Greek Calends.
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
Afflictions are... if we can so take them, our share in the Passion of Christ
C. S. Lewis
God's love is not wearied by our sins & is relentless in its determination that we be cured at whatever cost to us or Him
C. S. Lewis
An obligation to feel can freeze feelings.
C. S. Lewis
Extraordinary things only happen to extraordinary people. Maybe it's a sign that you've got an extraordinary destiny--something greater than you could've imagined.
C. S. Lewis
Even in this world of course it is the stupidest children who are most childish and the stupidest grown-ups who are most grown-up.
C. S. Lewis
Good, as it ripens, becomes continually more different not only from evil but from other good.
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
We are all fallen creatures and all very hard to live with.
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
I willingly believe that the damned are, in one sense, successful, rebels to the end that the doors of hell are locked on the inside.
