C. S. Lewis
Nothing is more likely to destroy a species or a nation than a determination to survive at all costs
C. S. Lewis
Friends are like coals in a fire - together, they glow apart, they grow cold.
C. S. Lewis
Even if there were pains in Heaven, all who understand would desire them.
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

C. S. Lewis
If there is equality it is in His love, not in us.
C. S. Lewis
If you never take risks, you'll never accomplish great things. Everybody dies, but not everyone has lived.
C. S. Lewis
The game is to have them all running about with fire extinguishers when there is a flood, and all crowding to that side of the boat which is already nearly gunwale under.
C. S. Lewis
The assumption that things which have been conjured in the past will always be conjured in the guiding principle not of rational but of animal behavior.
C. S. Lewis
We were made to be neither cerebral men nor visceral men, but Men. Not beasts nor angels but Men - things at once rational and animal.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.
C. S. Lewis
Welcome, Prince, said Aslan. Do you feel yourself sufficient to take up the Kingship of Narnia? I - I don't think I do, Sir, said Caspian. I'm only a kid. Good, said Aslan. If you had felt yourself sufficient, it would have been a proof that you were not.
C. S. Lewis
Perhaps the experience had been so complete that repetition would be vulgarity - like asking to hear the same symphony twice in a day.
C. S. Lewis
Narnia! It's all in the wardrobe just like I told you!
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.'
C. S. Lewis
