C. S. Lewis
Image
Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The whole journey was odd and dream-like -- the roaring stream, the wet grey grass, the glimmering cliffs which they were approaching, and always the glorious, silently pacing beast ahead.

C. S. Lewis
Image
We cannot fully understand the relations of time and choice until we are beyond both.
C. S. Lewis
Image
A man who has been in another world does not come back unchanged. One can't put the difference into words. When the man is a friend it may become painful: the old footing is not easy to recover.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We are not meant to be perpetually solemn: We must play.
C. S. Lewis
Image
To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God.
C. S. Lewis
Image
You Too? I thought I was the only one.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The continual looking forward to the eternal world is not a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do.
C. S. Lewis
Image
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
Image
When we see the face of God we shall know that we have always known it. He has been a party to, has made, sustained and moved moment by moment within, all our earthly experiences of innocent love.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Though we cannot experience our life as an endless present, we are eternal in God's eyes that is, in our deepest reality.
