More quotes by C. S. Lewis
If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.
C. S. Lewis
He (God) loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love.
C. S. Lewis
One of our great allies at present is the Church itself. Do not misunderstand me. I do not mean the Church as we see her spread out through all time and space and rooted in eternity, terrible as an army with banners. That, I confess, is a spectacle which makes our boldest tempters uneasy. But fortunately it is quite invisible to these humans.
C. S. Lewis
In the truest sense, Christian pilgrims have the best of both worlds. We have joy whenever this world reminds us of the next, and we take solace whenever it does not.
C. S. Lewis
I was not born to be free---I was born to adore and obey.
C. S. Lewis
A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line.
C. S. Lewis
War creates no absolutely new situation: it simply aggravates the permanent human situation so that we can no longer ignore it. Human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice.
C. S. Lewis
Badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. Goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled goodness. Evil is a parasite, not an original thing.
C. S. Lewis
Beauty is not democratic she reveals herself more to the few than to the many.
C. S. Lewis
All is summed up in the prayer which a young female human is said to have uttered recently: O God, make me a normal twentieth-century girl! Thanks to our labors, this will mean increasingly: Make me a minx, a moron, and a parasite.
C. S. Lewis
the Divine Nature wounds and perhaps destroys us merely by being what it is.
C. S. Lewis
We have to be continually reminded of what we believe. Neither this belief nor any other will automatically remain alive in the mind. It must be fed.
C. S. Lewis
One always feel better when one has made up one's mind.
C. S. Lewis
For you will certainly carry out God's purpose, however you act, but it makes a difference to you whether you serve like Judas or like John.
C. S. Lewis
Reality, looked at steadily, is unbearable.
C. S. Lewis
100 per cent of us die, and the percentage cannot be increased.
C. S. Lewis
The instrument through which you see God is your whole self. And if a man's self is not kept clean and bright, his glimpse of God will be blurred
C. S. Lewis
We have had enough, once and for all, of Hedonism--the gloomy philosophy which says that Pleasure is the only good.
C. S. Lewis
Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.
C. S. Lewis
The 'frankness' of people sunk below shame is a very cheap frankness.
C. S. Lewis
