More quotes by C. S. Lewis
We were made not primarily that we may love God, but that God may love us.
C. S. Lewis
God wants a child's heart and a grownup's head.
C. S. Lewis
I was with book, as a woman is with child.
C. S. Lewis
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.
C. S. Lewis
You never know what you can do until you try, and very few try unless they have to.
C. S. Lewis
God will look to every soul like its first love because He is its first love.
C. S. Lewis
The devil loves 'curing' a small fault by giving you a great one.
C. S. Lewis
Surely arrested development consists not in refusing to lose old things but in failing to add new things.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
By gum,' said Digory, 'Don't I just wish I was big enough to punch your head!
C. S. Lewis
The process of growing up is to be valued for what we gain, not for what we lose.
C. S. Lewis
You weren't a decent man and you didn't do your best. We none of us were and none of us did.
C. S. Lewis
Fools! said the man, stamping his foot with rage. That is the sort of talk that brought me here, and I'd better have been drowned or never born. Do you hear what I say? This is where dreams — dreams, do you understand — come to life, come real. Not daydreams: dreams.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot go on 'explaining away' for ever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it.
C. S. Lewis
The story itself should force its moral upon you. You find out what the moral is by writing the story.
C. S. Lewis
Good and evil both increase at compound interest.
C. S. Lewis
People talk as if grief were just a feeling -- as if it weren't the continually renewed shock of setting out again and again on familiar roads and being brought up short by the grim frontier post that now blocks them.
C. S. Lewis
Never exaggerate. Never say more than you really mean.
C. S. Lewis
Slowly, quietly, like snow-flakes—like the small flakes that come when it is going to snow all night —little flakes of me, my impressions, my selections, are settling down on the image of her. The real shape wil be quite hidden in the end.
C. S. Lewis
