Nature never taught me that there exists a God of glory and of infinite majesty. I had to learn that in other ways. But nature gave the word glory a meaning for me. I still do not know where else I could have found one.
C. S. Lewis
For He (God) seems to do nothing of himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Grief. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
C. S. Lewis
The choice of every lost soul can be expressed in the words Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven. There is always something they insist on keeping, even at the price of misery.
C. S. Lewis
Who will take medicine unless he knows he is in the grip of disease?
C. S. Lewis
He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand.
C. S. Lewis
A thing may be morally neutral and yet the desire for that thing may be dangerous.
C. S. Lewis
Homemaking is surely in reality the most important work in the world.
C. S. Lewis
The world was made partly that there may be prayer partly that our prayers might be answered.
C. S. Lewis
And so take away his work, which was his life [. . .] and all his glory and his great deeds? Make a child and a dotard of him? Keep him to myself at that cost? Make him so mine that he was no longer his?
C. S. Lewis
What the soul cries out for is the resurrection of the senses. Even in this life, matter would be nothing to us if it were not the source of sensations.
C. S. Lewis
...if all we mean by our love is a craving to be loved, we are in a very deplorable state.
C. S. Lewis
One can regard the moral law as an illusion, and so cut himself off from the common ground of humanity.
C. S. Lewis
As long as this deliberate refusal to understand things from above, even where such understanding is possible, continues, it is idle to talk of any final victory over materialism.
C. S. Lewis
