Quote

Of Course God does not consider you hopeless. If He did, He would not be moving you to seek Him (and He obviously is)... Continue seeking Him with seriousness. Unless He wanted you, you would not be wanting Him.

Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.
C. S. Lewis
Image
[God] will not be used as a convenience. Men or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think they can use the stairs of heaven as a shortcut to the nearest chemist's shop.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If one could run without getting tired I don't think one would often want to do anything else.
C. S. Lewis
Image
...if all we mean by our love is a craving to be loved, we are in a very deplorable state.
C. S. Lewis
Image
This is my password, said the King as he drew his sword. The light is dawning, the lie broken. Now guard thee, miscreant, for I am Tirian of Narnia.
C. S. Lewis
Image
As St. Paul points out, Christ never meant that we were to remain children in intelligence: on the contrary, He told us to be not only as harmless as doves, but also as wise as serpents. He wants a child's heart, but a grown-up's head.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I can promise you none of these things. No sphere of usefulness you are not needed there at all. No scope of your talents only forgiveness for having perverted them. No atmosphere of inquiry, for I will bring you to the land not of questions but of answers, and you shall see the face of God. (pg 40)
C. S. Lewis
Image
But however happy you are feeling, you can't talk with your mouth full of snow.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Since I am I, I must make an act of self-surrender, however small or however easy, in living to God rather than to my self.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It is only our bad temper that we put down to being tired or worried or hungry we put our good temper down to ourselves.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I am struck here by the curious mixture of justice and injustice in our lives. We are blamed for our real faults but usually not on the right occasions.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It doesn't really matter whether you grip the arms of the dentist's chair or let your hands lie in your lap. The drill drills on.
C. S. Lewis
Image
What we learn from experience depends on the kind of philosophy we bring to experience.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The Glory of God, and, as our only means of glorifying Him, the salvation of human souls, is the real business of life.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Puddleglum's my name. But it doesn't matter if you forget it. I can always tell you again.
C. S. Lewis
Image
God gives His gifts where He finds the vessel empty enough to receive them.
C. S. Lewis
Image
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
Image
Man's conquest of Nature, if the dreams of some scientific planners are realized, means the rule of a few hundreds of men over billions upon billions of men. There neither is nor can be any simple increase of power on Man's side. Each new power won by man is a power over man as well.

You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down.
