More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The right direction leads not only to peace but to knowledge.
C. S. Lewis
We do not want merely to see beauty... we want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. That is why we have peopled air and earth and water with gods and goddesses, and nymphs and elves.
C. S. Lewis
Nobody who gets enough food and clothing in a world where most are hungry and cold has any business to talk about 'misery.'
C. S. Lewis
The Glory of God, and, as our only means of glorifying Him, the salvation of human souls, is the real business of life.
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
History is a story written by the finger of God.
C. S. Lewis
Only He who really lived a human life (and I presume that only one did) can fully taste the horror of death.
C. S. Lewis
We have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin.
C. S. Lewis
When they have really learned to love their neighbours as themselves, they will be allowed to love themselves as their neighbours.
C. S. Lewis
It is by human avarice or human stupidity, not by the churlishness of nature, that we have poverty and overwork.
C. S. Lewis
Heaven will display far more variety than Hell.
C. S. Lewis
We all agree that forgiveness is a beautiful idea until we have to practice it.
C. S. Lewis
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal.
C. S. Lewis
I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy.
C. S. Lewis
I have often repented of speech but hardly ever of silence.
C. S. Lewis
I have been feeling very much lately that cheerful insecurity is what our Lord asks of us.
C. S. Lewis
Those who would like the God of scripture to be more purely ethical, do not know what they ask.
C. S. Lewis
Ink is the great cure for all human ills.
C. S. Lewis
No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good...Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is.
C. S. Lewis
...this new idea of cure instead of punishment, so humane in seeming, had in fact deprived the criminal of all rights and by taking away the name Punishment made the thing infinite.
C. S. Lewis
