More quotes by C. S. Lewis
I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.
C. S. Lewis
Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.
C. S. Lewis
We must lay before him what is in us not what ought to be in us.
C. S. Lewis
Writing is like a 'lust,' or like 'scratching when you itch.' Writing comes as a result of a very strong impulse, and when it does come, I for one must get it out.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship arises out of mere Companionship when two or more of the companions discover that they have in common some insight or interest or even taste which the others do not share and which, till that moment, each believed to be his own unique treasure (or burden).
C. S. Lewis
To walk out of his will is to walk into nowhere.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
A thing may be morally neutral and yet the desire for that thing may be dangerous.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
The love of knowledge is a kind of madness.
C. S. Lewis
Remember, we Christians think man lives for ever. Therefore, what really matters is those little marks or twists on the central, inside part of the soul which are going to turn it, in the long run, into a heavenly or a hellish creature.
C. S. Lewis
In your life you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some that you wish you never have to think about again. But you do.
C. S. Lewis
'Useful,' and 'necessity' was always 'the tyrant's plea'.
C. S. Lewis
The absent are easily refuted.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is...the sort of love one can imagine between angels.
C. S. Lewis
the Divine Nature wounds and perhaps destroys us merely by being what it is.
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
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.
C. S. Lewis
The only moral that is of any value is that which arises inevitably from the whole cast of the author's mind.
C. S. Lewis
Feelings, and feelings, and feelings. Let me try thinking instead.
C. S. Lewis
