C. S. Lewis
If a man is going to write on chemistry, he learns chemistry. The same is true of Christianity.

C. S. Lewis
The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.
C. S. Lewis
That's the worst of girls, said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. They never can carry a map in their heads. That's because our heads have something inside them, said Lucy.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
C. S. Lewis
He is not the soul of Nature, nor any part of Nature. He inhabits eternity: He dwells in a high and holy place: heaven is His throne, not his vehicle, earth is his footstool, not his vesture. One day he will dismantle both and make a new heaven and earth. He is not to be identified even with the 'divine spark' in man. He is 'God and not man.
C. S. Lewis
Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality.
C. S. Lewis
Good beats upon the damned incessantly as sound waves beat on the ears of the deaf, but they cannot receive it. Their fists are clenched, their teeth are clenched, their eyes fast shut. First they will not, in the end they cannot, open their hands for gifts, or their mouth for food, or their eyes to see.
C. S. Lewis
I have discovered that the people who believe most strongly in the next life do the most good in the present one.
C. S. Lewis
