More quotes by C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
God is the food our spirits were designed to feed on.
C. S. Lewis
As long as you are proud, you cannot know God.
C. S. Lewis
Think of me as a fellow patient in the same hospital who, having been admitted a little earlier could give some advice.
C. S. Lewis
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible Gods and Goddesses. To remember that the dullest, and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship.
C. S. Lewis
I want God, not my idea of God.
C. S. Lewis
In Charn [Jadis] had taken no notice of Polly (till the very end) because Digory was the one she wanted to make use of. Now that she had Uncle Andrew, she took no notice of Digory. I expect most witches are like that. They are not interested in things or people unless they can use them they are terribly practical.
C. S. Lewis
If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness.
C. S. Lewis
Even I never dreamed of Magic like this!
C. S. Lewis
God will look to every soul like its first love because He is its first love.
C. S. Lewis
Christian theology can fit in science, art, morality, and the sub-Christian religious. The scientific point of view cannot fit any of these things, not even science itself.
C. S. Lewis
Your people eat dry and tasteless flesh but it is off plates as smooth as ivory and as round as the sun.
C. S. Lewis
A man is never so proud as when striking an attitude of humility.
C. S. Lewis
The true enjoyments must be spontaneous and compulsive and look to no remoter end.
C. S. Lewis
You must have a capacity to receive, or even omnipotence can't give.
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
Have fun, even if it’s not the same kind of fun everyone else is having.
C. S. Lewis
In worship, God imparts himself to us.
C. S. Lewis
Remember that all worlds draw to an end and that noble death is a treasure which no one is too poor to buy.
C. S. Lewis
But as long as you know you're nobody special, you'll be a very decent sort of Horse, on the whole, and taking one thing with another.
C. S. Lewis
