More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.
C. S. Lewis
If a man is going to write on chemistry, he learns chemistry. The same is true of Christianity.
C. S. Lewis
You see, Aslan didn't tell Pole what would happen. He only told her what to do. That fellow will be the death of us once he's up, I shouldn't wonder. But that doesn't let us off following the signs. - The Silver Chair
C. S. Lewis
For He (God) seems to do nothing of himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures.
C. S. Lewis
To excuse what can really produce good excuses is not Christian charity it is only fairness. To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable in you.
C. S. Lewis
The discomfiture we feel may be our most accurate human sensation reminding us we are not quite at home here.
C. S. Lewis
Homemaking is surely in reality the most important work in the world.
C. S. Lewis
The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ.
C. S. Lewis
In such a fearful world, we need a fearless church
C. S. Lewis
Necessity may not be the opposite of freedom, and perhaps a man is most free when, instead of producing motives, he could only say, I am what I do.
C. S. Lewis
If, as I can't help suspecting, the dead also feel the pains of separation (and this may be one of their purgatorial sufferings), then for both lovers, and for all pairs of lovers without exception, bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love.
C. S. Lewis
To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.
C. S. Lewis
If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.
C. S. Lewis
A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest. He also said: No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally - and often far more - worth reading at the age of 50 and beyond.
C. S. Lewis
We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.
C. S. Lewis
A dogmatic belief in objective value is necessary to the very idea of a rule which is not tyranny or an obedience which is not slavery.
C. S. Lewis
What we called love down there was mostly the craving to be loved. In the main I loved you for my own sake: because I needed you...We shall have no need for one another now: we can begin to love truly.
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
Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life.
