Image
The Glory of God, and, as our only means of glorifying Him, the salvation of human souls, is the real business of life.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito.
C. S. Lewis
Image
You cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The unhistorical are usually, without knowing it, enslaved to a fairly recent past.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It costs God nothing, so far as we know, to create nice things: but to convert rebellious wills cost Him crucifixion.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Something of God... flows into us from the blue of the sky, the taste of honey, the delicious embrace of water whether cold or hot, and even from sleep itself.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The more often he feels without acting, the less he will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel.
C. S. Lewis
Image
There is only one way fit for a man - Heroism, or Master-Morality, or Violence. All the other people in between are ploughing the sand.
C. S. Lewis
Image
To admire Satan [in Paradise Lost] is to give one's vote not only for a world of misery, but also for a world of lies and propaganda, of wishful thinking, of incessant autobiography.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Pooh! Grown-ups are always thinking of uninteresting explanations.
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
Any patch of sunlight in a wood will show you something about the sun which you could never get from reading books on astronomy. These pure and spontaneous pleasures are ‘patches of Godlight’ in the woods of our experience.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.
C. S. Lewis
Image
For He (God) seems to do nothing of himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Without sin, the universe is a Solemn Game: and there is no good game without rules.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Evil can be undone, but it cannot 'develop' into good. Time does not heal it. The spell must be unwound, bit by bit, 'with backward mutters of dissevering power' - or else not.
C. S. Lewis
Image
we follow One who stood and wept at the grave of Lazarus-not surely, because He was grieved that Mary and Martha wept, and sorrowed for their lack of faith (though some thus interpret) but because death, the punishment of sin, is even more horrible in his eyes than in ours.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Each generation exercises power over its successors: and each, in so far as it modifies the environment bequeathed to it and rebels against tradition, resists and limits the power of its predecessors.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We treat our dogs as if they were almost human: that is why they really become almost human in the end.
