Youth and age touch only the surface of our lives.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Yes, pride is a perpetual nagging temptation. Keep on knocking it on the head, but don't be too worried about it. As long as one knows one is proud, one is safe from the worst form of pride.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Repentance is not something God demands of you before He will take you back and which He could let you off if He chose it is simply a description of what going back is like.
C. S. Lewis
Image
To enter heaven is to become more human than you ever succeeded in being on earth to enter hell is to be banished from humanity. What is cast (or casts itself) into hell is not a man: it is 'remains.'

C. S. Lewis
Image
No one can say 'He jests at scars who never felt a wound' for I have never for one moment been in a state of mind to which even the imagination of serious pain was less than intolerable. If any man is safe from the danger of under-estimating this adversary, I am that man.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis

If only this toothache would go away, I could write another chapter on the problem of pain.
C. S. Lewis
Image
you had nothing to say about it and yet made the nothing up into words.
C. S. Lewis
Image
To every soul, God will look like its first love because He IS its first love. Your place in heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it - made for it stitch by stitch as a glove is made for a hand.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, 'What? You too? I thought I was the only one!
C. S. Lewis
Image
But in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself and am never more myself than when I do.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I gave in, and admitted that God was God.
C. S. Lewis

There is a story about a schoolboy who was asked what he thought God was like. He replied that, as far as he could make out, God was 'the sort of person who is always snooping around to see if anyone is enjoying himself and then trying to stop it.'
