More quotes by C. S. Lewis
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
Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything. But no, that is not quite accurate. There is one place where her absence comes locally home to me, and it is a place I can't avoid. I mean my own body. It had such a different importance while it was the body of H.'s lover. Now it's like an empty house.
C. S. Lewis
Everywhere, except in theology, there has been a vigorous growth of skepticism about skepticism itself.
C. S. Lewis
Atheists express their rage against God although in their view He does not exist.
C. S. Lewis
It is in the process of being worshipped that God communicates His presence to men.
C. S. Lewis
He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand.
C. S. Lewis
We delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment it is its appointed consummation. It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are the delight is incomplete till it is expressed.
C. S. Lewis
I gave in, and admitted that God was God.
C. S. Lewis
When you go to church you are really listening-in to the secret wireless from out friends: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going. He does it by playing on our conceit and laziness and intellectual snobbery.
C. S. Lewis
Got to start by finding it, have we? Can't start by looking for it, I suppose?
C. S. Lewis
It will not bother me in the hour of death to reflect that I have been had for a sucker by any number of imposters but it would be a torment to know that one had refused even one person in need.
C. S. Lewis
It is natural for us to wish that God had designed for us a less glorious and less arduous destiny but then we are wishing not for more love but for less.
C. S. Lewis
The next moment is as much beyond our grasp, and as much in God's care, as that a hundred years away. Care for the next minute is as foolish as care for a day in the next thousand years. In neither can we do anything, in both God is doing everything.
C. S. Lewis
Some journeys take us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny.
C. S. Lewis
Prosperity knits a man to the world.
C. S. Lewis
True friends don’t spend time gazing into each other’s eyes. They may show great tenderness towards each other but they face in the same direction - toward common projects, goals - above all, towards a common Lord.
C. S. Lewis
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
If people knew how much ill-feeling unselfishness occasions, it would not be so often recommended from the pulpit.
C. S. Lewis
Mortal lovers must not try to remain at the first step for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot and from it we wake in despair.
C. S. Lewis
Remember, we Christians think man lives for ever. Therefore, what really matters is those little marks or twists on the central, inside part of the soul which are going to turn it, in the long run, into a heavenly or a hellish creature.
C. S. Lewis
