More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Chastity is the most unpopular of the Christian virtues. There is no getting away from it the old Christian rule is, Either marriage, with completely faithfulness to your partner, or else total abstinence.
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
If a man is going to write on chemistry, he learns chemistry. The same is true of Christianity.
C. S. Lewis
Unless Christianity is wholly false, the perception of ourselves which we have in moments of shame must be the only true one.
C. S. Lewis
Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.
C. S. Lewis
Once a man is united to God, how could he not live forever?
C. S. Lewis
Morality is a mountain which we cannot climb by our own efforts and if we could we should only perish in the ice and unbreathable air of the summit, lacking those wings with which the rest of the journey has to be accomplished. For it is from there that the real ascent begins. The ropes and axes are 'done away' and the rest is a matter of flying.
C. S. Lewis
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.
C. S. Lewis
When you go to church you are really listening-in to the secret wireless from out friends: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going. He does it by playing on our conceit and laziness and intellectual snobbery.
C. S. Lewis
We are all fallen creatures and all very hard to live with.
C. S. Lewis
Lust is a poor, weak, whimpering, whispering thing compared with that richness and energy of desire which will arise when lust has been killed.
C. S. Lewis
Looking for God-or Heaven-by exploring space is like reading or seeing all Shakespeare's plays in the hope that you will find Shakespeare as one of the characters.
C. S. Lewis
The truth is, of course, that what one regards as interruptions are precisely one's life.
C. S. Lewis
If tribulation is a necessary element in redemption, we must anticipate that it will never cease till God sees the world to be either redeemed or no further redeemable.
C. S. Lewis
In such a fearful world, we need a fearless church
C. S. Lewis
It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
C. S. Lewis
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.
C. S. Lewis
Love, having become a god, becomes a demon.
C. S. Lewis
If Christianity was something we were making up, of course we could make it easier. But it is not.
C. S. Lewis
Whenever we find that our religious life is making us feel that we are good - above all, that we are better than someone else - I think we may be sure that we are being acted on, not by God, but by the devil.
C. S. Lewis
