More quotes by C. S. Lewis

Image
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
Image
Pure, spiritual, intellectual love shot form their faces like barbedlightning. It was so unlike the love we experience that its expressioncould easily be mistaken for ferocity.
C. S. Lewis
Image
First, I do not sit down at my desk to put into verse something that is already clear in my mind. If it were clear in my mind, I should have no incentive or need to write about it. We do not write in order to be understood we write in order to understand.

Things never happen the same way twice.
C. S. Lewis

Image
We cannot fully understand the relations of time and choice until we are beyond both.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Humanity does not pass through phases as a train passes through stations: being alive, it has the privilege of always moving yet never leaving anything behind. Whatever we have been, in some sort we are still.
C. S. Lewis

Human intellect is incurably abstract.
C. S. Lewis
Image
On many questions and specially in view of the marriage bed, the Puritans were the indulgent party, . . . they were much more Chestertonian than their adversaries. The idea that a Puritan was a repressed and repressive person would have astonished Sir Thomas More and Luther about equally.
C. S. Lewis
Image
'Useful,' and 'necessity' was always 'the tyrant's plea'.
C. S. Lewis
Image
All their life in this world and all their adventures had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.

Do not dare not to dare.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I wish we didn't live in a world where buying and selling things seems to have become almost more important than either producing or using them.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Thirst was made for water inquiry for truth. What you now call the free play of inquiry has neither more nor less to do with the ends for which intelligence was given you than masturbation has to do with marriage.

Art can teach without at all ceasing to be art.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Nature does not teach. A true philosophy may sometimes validate an experience of nature an experience of nature cannot validate a philosophy. Nature will not verify any theological or metaphysical proposition (or not in the manner we are now considering) she will help to show what it means.

We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.

I want God, not my idea of God.
