More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Death opens a door out of a little, dark room (that's all the life we have known before it) into a great, real place where the true sun shines and we shall meet.
C. S. Lewis
I think God wants us to love Him more, not to love others less.
C. S. Lewis
Growing maturity is marked by the increasing liberties we take with our travelling... we made the discovery (some people never make it) that real books can be taken on a journey and that hours of golden reading can so be added to its other delights.
C. S. Lewis
I hope I do not offend God by making my Communions in the frame of mind I have been describing. The command, after all, was Take, eat: not Take, understand.
C. S. Lewis
That raises a terrible question. How is it that people who are quite obviously eaten up with Pride can say they believe in God and appear to themselves very religious? I am afraid it means they are worshiping an imaginary God.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot make men good by law: and without good men you cannot have a good society.
C. S. Lewis
I have been wandering to find him and my happiness is so great that it even weakens me like a wound. And this is the marvel of marvels, that he called me Beloved, me who am but as a dog.
C. S. Lewis
To get even near humility, even for a moment, is like a drink of cold water to a man in a desert.
C. S. Lewis
Not that I am (I think) in much danger of ceasing to believe in God. The real danger is of coming to believe such dreadful things about Him. The conclusion I dread is not 'So there's no God after all,' but 'So this is what God's really like. Deceive yourself no longer.
C. S. Lewis
The best fruits are plucked for each by some hand that is not his own.
C. S. Lewis
Falling in love is something that happens to us, being is love is something we do. No passion is self preservatory.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship (as the ancients saw) can be a school of virtue, but also (as they did not see) a school of vice. It is ambivalent. It makes good men better and bad men worse.
C. S. Lewis
We know nothing of religion here: we only think of Christ.
C. S. Lewis
Giant Wimbleweather burst into one of those not very intelligent laughs to which the nicer sort of Giants are so liable. He checked himself at once and looked as grace as a turnip by the time Reepicheep discovered where the noise came from.
C. S. Lewis
If Christianity is only one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance.
C. S. Lewis
Actually it seems to me that one can hardly say anything either bad enough or good enough about life.
C. S. Lewis
No man can be an exile if he remembers that all the world is one city.
C. S. Lewis
Friends are seldom found they are made.
C. S. Lewis
Who will take medicine unless he knows he is in the grip of disease?
C. S. Lewis
When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love them.
C. S. Lewis
