More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Tea should be taken in solitude.
C. S. Lewis
From the moment a creature becomes aware of God as God and of itself as self, the terrible alternative of choosing God or self for the centre is opened to it.
C. S. Lewis
Of course God does not consider you hopeless. If He did He would not be moving you to seek Him (and He obviously is). What is going on in you at present is simply the beginning of the treatment. Continue seeking with cheerful seriousness. Unless He wanted you, you would not be wanting Him.
C. S. Lewis
Dyson and Tolkien were the immediate human causes of my conversion. Is any pleasure on earth as great as a circle of Christian friends by a good fire?
C. S. Lewis
I cannot understand how a man can appear in print claiming to disbelieve everything that he presupposes when he puts on the surplice. I feel it is a form of prostitution.
C. S. Lewis
I believe, to be sure, that any man who reaches Heaven will find that what he abandoned (even in plucking out his right eye) has not been lost: that the kernel of what he was really seeking even in his most depraved wishes will be there, beyond expectation, waiting for him in 'the High Countries'.
C. S. Lewis
Pooh! Grown-ups are always thinking of uninteresting explanations.
C. S. Lewis
Perfect humility dispenses with modesty.
C. S. Lewis
I'm a beast, I am, and a Badger what's more. We don't change. We hold on.
C. S. Lewis
A moderated religion is as good for us as no religion at all—and more amusing.
C. S. Lewis
The stamp of the Saint is that he can waive his own rights and obey the Lord Jesus.
C. S. Lewis
That is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporal sufferring, No future bliss can make up for it not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory.
C. S. Lewis
All schools both here and in America should teach far fewer subjects far better.
C. S. Lewis
All your life an unattainable ecstasy has hovered just beyond the grasp of your consciousness. The day is coming when you will wake to find, beyond all hope, that you have attained it, or else, that it was within your reach and you have lost it forever.
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
Provided that any of those neighbours sing out of tune or have boots that squeak, or double chins, or odd clothes, the patient will quite easily believe that their religion must therefore be somehow ridiculous.
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
If there is equality it is in His love, not in us.
C. S. Lewis
Where I come from, they don't think much of men who are bossed about by their wives.
C. S. Lewis
The truth is, of course, that what one regards as interruptions are precisely one's life.
C. S. Lewis
