C. S. Lewis
I am in love and out of it I will not go.
C. S. Lewis
Some journeys take us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny.
C. S. Lewis
All joy... emphasizes our pilgrim status always reminds, beckons, awakens desire. Our best havings are wantings.
C. S. Lewis
When we want to be something other than the thing that God wants us to be, we must be wanting what, in fact, will not make us happy...whether we like it or not, God intends to give us what we need, not what we now think we want.

C. S. Lewis
But why,... if you have a serious comment to make on the real life of men, must you do it by talking about a phantasmagoric never-never land of your own? Because, I take it, one of the main things the author wants to say is that the real life of men is of that mythical and heroic quality.
C. S. Lewis
Wherever any precept of traditional morality is simply challenged to produce its credentials, as though the burden of proof lay on it, we have taken the wrong position.
C. S. Lewis
It is natural for us to wish that God had designed for us a less glorious and less arduous destiny but then we are wishing not for more love but for less.
C. S. Lewis
The worldly man treats certain people kindly because he 'likes' them: the Christian, trying to treat every one kindly, finds him liking more and more people as he goes on - including people he could not even have imagined himself liking at the beginning.
C. S. Lewis
At other times it feels like being mildly drunk, or concussed. There is a sort of invisible blanket between the world and me. I find it hard to take in what anyone says.
C. S. Lewis
We have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin.
C. S. Lewis
Faith in Christ is the only thing to save you from despair.
C. S. Lewis
The worst attitude of all would be the professional attitude which regards children in the lump as a sort of raw material which we have to handle.
C. S. Lewis
The more lucidly we think, the more we are cut off: the more deeply we enter into reality, the less we can think.
C. S. Lewis
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.
C. S. Lewis
What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.
C. S. Lewis
