More quotes by C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
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
If only this toothache would go away, I could write another chapter on the problem of pain.
C. S. Lewis
The human mind is generally far more eager to praise and dispraise than to describe and define. It wants to make every distinction a distinction of value hence those fatal critics who can never point out the differing quality of two poets without putting them in an order of preference as if they were candidates for a prize.
C. S. Lewis
the Divine Nature wounds and perhaps destroys us merely by being what it is.
C. S. Lewis
When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him. When a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less.
C. S. Lewis
The longest way round is the shortest way home
C. S. Lewis
The Christian has a great advantage over other men, not by being less fallen than they, nor less doomed to live in a fallen world, but by knowing that he is a fallen man in a fallen world.
C. S. Lewis
By gum,' said Digory, 'Don't I just wish I was big enough to punch your head!
C. S. Lewis
Truth and falsehood are opposed but truth is the norm not of truth only but of falsehood also.
C. S. Lewis
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.
C. S. Lewis
To walk out of his will is to walk into nowhere.
C. S. Lewis
Affection would not be affection if it was loudly and frequently expressed to produce it in public is like getting your household furniture out for a move. It did very well in its place, but it looks shabby or tawdry or grotesque in the sunshine.
C. S. Lewis
Be good, sweet maid, and don't forget that this involves being as clever as you can.
C. S. Lewis
Many thousands of people have had the experience of finding the first friend, and it is none the less a wonder as great a wonder (pace the novelists) as first love, or even greater.
C. S. Lewis
Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality.
C. S. Lewis
All Hell is smaller than one pebble of your earthly world but it is smaller than one atom of this world, the Real World.
C. S. Lewis
A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is alright. This is common sense really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not well you are sleeping.
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
No emotion is, in itself, a judgement in that sense all emotions and sentiments are alogical. but they can be reasonable or unreasonable as they conform to Reason or fail to conform. The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.
C. S. Lewis
