C. S. Lewis
This wasn't a garden,' said Susan presently. 'It was a castle.
C. S. Lewis
Everyone who believes in God at all believes that he knows what you and I are going to do tomorrow.
C. S. Lewis
Reality, in fact, is always something you couldn't have guessed. That's one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It's a religion you couldn't have guessed.
C. S. Lewis
If you examined a hundred people who had lost their faith in Christianity, I wonder how many of them would turn out to have reasoned out of it by honest argument? Do not most people simply drift away?
C. S. Lewis
We have failed to practise ourselves the kind of behaviour we expect from other people.
C. S. Lewis
Once the feet are put right, all the rest of him will follow.
C. S. Lewis
This is the land of Narnia,' said the Faun, 'where we are now all that lies between the lamp-post and the great castle of Cair Paravel on the eastern sea.
C. S. Lewis
Those who are enjoying something, or suffering something, together, are companions. Those who enjoy or suffer one another, are not.
C. S. Lewis
All men alike stand condemned, not by alien codes of ethics, but by their own, and all men therefore are conscious of guilt.
C. S. Lewis
The assumption that things which have been conjured in the past will always be conjured in the guiding principle not of rational but of animal behavior.
C. S. Lewis
The only thing one can usually change in one's situation is oneself. And yet one can't change that either-only ask Our Lord to do so.
C. S. Lewis
