More quotes by C. S. Lewis
My will, shall become your will. My heart, shall become your heart.
C. S. Lewis
We must stop regarding unpleasant or unexpected things as interruptions of real life. The truth is that interruptions are real life.
C. S. Lewis
And she never could remember and ever since that day what Lucy means by a good story is a story which reminds her of the forgotten story in the Magician's Book.
C. S. Lewis
The change which the writing wrought in me (and of which I did not write) was only a beginning only to prepare me for the gods' surgery. They used my own pen to probe my wound.
C. S. Lewis
God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains.
C. S. Lewis
The typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, 'What? You too? I thought I was the only one!
C. S. Lewis
I have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.
C. S. Lewis
Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot love a fellow creature fully till you love God.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot go on 'explaining away' for ever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it.
C. S. Lewis
Crying is all right in its way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do.
C. S. Lewis
If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all
C. S. Lewis
If conversion makes no improvements in a man's outward actions then I think his 'conversion' was largely imaginary.
C. S. Lewis
Did I hate him, then? Indeed, I believe so. A love like that can grow to be nine-tenths hatred and still call itself love.
C. S. Lewis
A moderated religion is as good for us as no religion at all—and more amusing.
C. S. Lewis
Most people don't need to be taught, they need only to be reminded
C. S. Lewis
If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream.
C. S. Lewis
God became man to turn creatures into sons: not simply to produce better men of the old kind but to produce a new kind of man. It is not like teaching a horse to jump better and better but like turning a horse into a winged creature.
C. S. Lewis
You never know what you can do until you try, and very few try unless they have to.
C. S. Lewis
To see, in some measure, like God. His love and His knowledge are not distinct from one another, not from Him. We could almost say He sees because He loves, and therefore loves although He sees.
C. S. Lewis
