More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Bad art is never really enjoyed in the same sense in which good art is enjoyed. It is only liked: it never startles, prostrates, and takes captive.
C. S. Lewis
If religion does not make us better people, it will make us very much worse. And of all the bad men who have lived, the religious bad man is the worst of all.
C. S. Lewis
We might think that God wanted simply obedience to a set of rules: whereas He really wants people of a particular sort.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot make men good by law: and without good men you cannot have a good society.
C. S. Lewis
Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
C. S. Lewis
Death opens a door out of a little, dark room (that's all the life we have known before it) into a great, real place where the true sun shines and we shall meet.
C. S. Lewis
Without the aid of trained emotions the intellect is powerless against the animal organism.
C. S. Lewis
We must beware of the Past, mustn't we? I mean that any fixing of the mind on old evils beyond what is absolutely necessary for repenting our own sins and forgiving those of others is certainly useless and usually bad for us. Notice in Dante that the lost souls are entirely concerned with their past! Not so the saved.
C. S. Lewis
It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It's not the sort of comfort they supply there.
C. S. Lewis
Friends are seldom found they are made.
C. S. Lewis
No good work is done anywhere without aid from the Father of Lights.
C. S. Lewis
Hatred obscures all distinctions.
C. S. Lewis
...if all we mean by our love is a craving to be loved, we are in a very deplorable state.
C. S. Lewis
Where, except in uncreated light, can the darkness be drowned?
C. S. Lewis
Aren't all these notes the senseless writings of a man who won't accept the fact that there is nothing we can do with suffering except to suffer it?
C. S. Lewis
If we ignore it the truth that God is love may slyly come to mean for us the converse, that love is God.
C. S. Lewis
One can regard the moral law as an illusion, and so cut himself off from the common ground of humanity.
C. S. Lewis
God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than He is of any other slacker.
C. S. Lewis
When Catholicism goes bad it becomes the religion of amulets and holy places and priestcraft: Protestantism, in its corresponding decay, becomes a vague mist of ethical platitudes
C. S. Lewis
The theory that thought is merely a movement in the brain is, in my opinion, nonsense for if so, that theory itself would be merely a movement, an event among atoms, which may have speed and direction but of which it would be meaningless to use the words 'true' or 'false'.
C. S. Lewis
