More quotes by C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
I was wondering — I mean — could there be some mistake? Because nobody called me and Scrubb, you know. It was we who asked to come here. You would not have called me unless I had been calling you.
C. S. Lewis
Humans are very seldom either totally sincere or totally hypocritical. Their moods change, their motives are mixed, and they are often quite mistaken as to what their motives are.
C. S. Lewis
The castle of Cair Paravel on its little hill towered up above them before them were the sands, with rocks and little pools of salt water, and seaweed, and the smell of the sea and long miles of bluish-green waves breaking for ever and ever on the beach. And oh, the cry of the seagulls! Have you ever heard it? Can you remember?
C. S. Lewis
We reduce things to mere Nature in order that we may conquer them.
C. S. Lewis
We regard God as an airman regards his parachute it's there for emergencies but he hopes he'll never have to use it.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
But he always licked to get visitors alone in the billiard room and tell them stories about a mysterious lady, a foreign royalty, with whom he had driven about London. 'A devilish temper she had,' he would say. 'But she was a dem fine woman, sir, a dem fine woman.
C. S. Lewis
Your people eat dry and tasteless flesh but it is off plates as smooth as ivory and as round as the sun.
C. S. Lewis
And as Jill gazed at its motionless bulk, she realized that she might as well have asked the whole mountain to move aside for her convenience.
C. S. Lewis
God is the only comfort, He is also the supreme terror: the thing we most need and the thing we most want to hide from.
C. S. Lewis
I think earth, if chosen instead of Heaven, will turn out to have been, all along, only a region in Hell and earth, if put second to Heaven, to have been from the beginning a part of Heaven itself.
C. S. Lewis
At present we are on the outside of the world, the wrong side of the door. We discern the freshness and purity of morning, but they do not make us fresh and pure. We cannot mingle with the splendours we see. But all the leaves of the New Testament are rustling with the rumour that it will not always be so. Some day, God willing, we shall get in.
C. S. Lewis
Remember He is the artist and you are only the picture. You can't see it. So quietly submit to be painted---i.e., keep fulfilling all the obvious duties of your station (you really know quite well enough what they are!), asking forgiveness for each failure and then leaving it alone.You are in the right way. Walk---don't keep on looking at it.
C. S. Lewis
Friends are like coals in a fire - together, they glow apart, they grow cold.
C. S. Lewis
The distinction between pretending you are better than you are and beginning to be better in reality is finer than moral sleuth hounds conceive.
C. S. Lewis
The love of knowledge is a kind of madness.
C. S. Lewis
This world is a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.
C. S. Lewis
Human beings judge one another by their external actions. God judges them by their moral choices.
C. S. Lewis
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal.
C. S. Lewis
