If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream.
C. S. Lewis
Image
How could an idiotic universe have produced creatures whose mere dreams are so much stronger, better, subtler than itself?
C. S. Lewis
Image
Either Jesus is the Son of God or a madman or worse. But His being just a great teacher? He's not left that open to us.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The best swordsman in the world may be disarmed by a trick that's new to him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight.
C. S. Lewis
Image
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place [if we anticipate and look for it, rather than wallow in our 'supposed loss'. It can be helpful to think of the loss of that blessing as simply necessary to make way for another different blessing].

Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.
C. S. Lewis
Image
You do not fail in obedience through lack of love, but you have lost love because you never attempted obedience.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The doctrine of the Second Coming teaches us that we do not and cannot know when the world drama will end. The curtain may be rung down at any moment: say, before you have finished reading this paragraph.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Because we love something else more than this world, we love even this world more than those who know no other.
C. S. Lewis
Image
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
Image
The very man who has argued you down, will sometimes be found, years later, to have been influenced by what you said
C. S. Lewis
Image
Before we can be cured, we must want to be cured.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It is wonderful what you can do when you have to.
C. S. Lewis
Image
For in Calormen, story-telling (whether the stories are true or made up) is a thing you're taught, just as English boys and girls are taught essay-writing. The difference is that people want to hear the stories, whereas I never heard of anyone who wanted to read the essays.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honor millionaires, athletes, or film stars instead even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served deny it food and it will gobble poison.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask - half our great theological and metaphysical problems - are like that.

Image
We who have been true readers all our life fully realize the enormous of our being which we owe to authors.
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
We long for more and God's promise is that there is more awaiting us. More to delight us than we will ever exhaust.
