The only way to drive out bad culture is to create good culture. We need to recognize that artistic talent is a gift from the Lord - and that developing those talents is the only way to create good culture.

More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Pain is G-d's megaphone to wake up the world.
C. S. Lewis
Five senses an incurably abstract intellect a haphazardly selective memory a set of preconceptions and assumptions so numerous that I can never examine more than a minority of them - never become even conscious of them all.
C. S. Lewis
Really great moral teachers never do introduce new moralities: it is quacks and cranks who do that.
C. S. Lewis
In silence and in meditation on the eternal truths, I hear the voice of God which excites our hearts to greater love.
C. S. Lewis
That raises a terrible question. How is it that people who are quite obviously eaten up with Pride can say they believe in God and appear to themselves very religious? I am afraid it means they are worshiping an imaginary God.
C. S. Lewis
For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted.
C. S. Lewis
Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
C. S. Lewis
What flows into you from myth is not truth but reality (truth is always about something, but reality is that about which truth is), and therefore, every myth becomes the father of innumerable truths on the abstract level.
C. S. Lewis
First be sure that you know exactly what you want to say. Then be sure you have said exactly that.
C. S. Lewis
Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different.
C. S. Lewis
Dearest Daughter. I knew you would not be long in coming to me. Joy shall be yours.
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
The true Christian's nostril is to be continually attentive to the inner cesspool.
C. S. Lewis
Humans are amphibians - half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time.
C. S. Lewis
A recovery of the old sense of sin is essential to Christianity. Christ takes it for granted that men are bad. Until we really feel this assumption of His to be true, though we are part of the world He came to save, we are not part of the audience to whom His words are addressed.
C. S. Lewis
If I, being what I am, can consider that I am in some sense a Christian, why should the different vices of those people in the next pew prove that their religion is mere hypocrisy and convention?
C. S. Lewis
Perhaps your own reiterated cries deafen you to the voice you hoped to hear
C. S. Lewis
Democracy demands that little men should not take big ones too seriously it dies when it is full of little men who think they are big themselves.
C. S. Lewis
If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream.
C. S. Lewis
Where, except in uncreated light, can the darkness be drowned?
