Quote

I have come, said a deep voice behind them. They turned and saw the Lion himself, so bright and real and strong that everything else began at once to look pale and shadowy compared with him.

Image
Though we cannot experience our life as an endless present, we are eternal in God's eyes that is, in our deepest reality.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Christ did not die for man because they were intrinsically worth dying for, but because he is intrinsically love, and therefore loves infinitely.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Nothing less will shake a man — or at any rate a man like me — out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Enemy-occupied territory - that is what this world is.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Hell is a state of mind -- ye never said a truer word. And every state of mind, left to itself, every shutting up of the creature within the dungeon of its own mind -- is, in the end, Hell. But Heaven is not a state of mind. Heaven is reality itself. All that is fully real is Heavenly.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Many things, such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly - are done worst when we try hardest to do them.
C. S. Lewis
Image
What seem our worst prayers may really be, in God's eyes, our best. Those, I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling. For these may come from a deeper level than feeling. God sometimes seems to speak to us most intimately when he catches us, as it were, off our guard.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Because God created the Natural - invented it out of His love and artistry - it demands our reverence.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We do know that no person can be saved except through Christ. We do not know that only those who know Him can be saved by Him.

Image
Ink is the great cure for all human ills.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Delight is incomplete until it is expressed.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Poetry too is a little incarnation, giving body to what had been before invisible and inaudible.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The higher animals are in a sense drawn into Man when he loves them and makes them (as he does) much more nearly human than they would otherwise be.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It seems to me that we often, almost sulkily, reject the good that God offers us because, at that moment, we expected some other good.
C. S. Lewis
Image
God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The point is that for our ancestors, the universe was a picture for modern physics it is a story.
C. S. Lewis
Image
But do you really mean, Sir, said Peter, that there could be other worlds-all over the place, just round the corner-like that? Nothing is more probable, said the Profesor, taking off his spectacles and beginning to polish them, while he muttered to himself, I wonder what they do teach them at these schools.

Will the others see you too? asked Lucy. Certainly not at first, said Aslan. Later on, it depends. But they won’t believe me! said Lucy. It doesn’t matter.
C. S. Lewis
Image
When there came a sound that I'd never heard the like of in all my born days. Eh, I won't forget that. The whole air was full of it, loud as thunder but far longer, cool and sweet as music over water but strong enough to shake the woods. And I said to myself, 'If that's not the Horn, call me a rabbit.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It now seemed to me that all my other guesses had been only self-pleasing dreams spun out of my wishes, but now I was awake.
