More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Something deep in the human heart breaks at the thought of a life of mediocrity.
C. S. Lewis
The doctrine of the Second Coming teaches us that we do not and cannot know when the world drama will end. The curtain may be rung down at any moment: say, before you have finished reading this paragraph.
C. S. Lewis
You never know what you can do until you try, and very few try unless they have to.
C. S. Lewis
To love you as I should, I must worship God as Creator.
C. S. Lewis
If Christianity is only one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance.
C. S. Lewis
Something of God... flows into us from the blue of the sky, the taste of honey, the delicious embrace of water whether cold or hot, and even from sleep itself.
C. S. Lewis
It was not for societies or states, that Christ died, but for men.
C. S. Lewis
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'
C. S. Lewis
God knows our situation He will not judge us as if we had no difficulties to overcome. What matters is the sincerity and perseverance of our will to overcome them.
C. S. Lewis
A Christian is not someone who never goes wrong, but one who is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin again, because the Christ-life is inside him.
C. S. Lewis
Unless thought is valid we have no reason to believe in the real universe.
C. S. Lewis
Here. All of you. And you, doorkeeper. No one is to be let out of the house today. And anyone I catch talking about this young lady will be first beaten to death and then burned alive and after that be kept on bread and water for six weeks. There.
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
The natural life in each of us is something self-centred, something that wants to be petted and admired, to take advantage of other lives, to exploit the whole universe.
C. S. Lewis
To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.
C. S. Lewis
Of course all children's literature is not fantastic, so all fantastic books need not be children's books. It is still possible, even in an age so ferociously anti-romantic as our own, to write fantastic stories for adults: though you will usually need to have made a name in some more fashionable kind of literature before anyone will publish them.
C. S. Lewis
I willingly believe that the damned are, in one sense, successful, rebels to the end that the doors of hell are locked on the inside.
C. S. Lewis
If you never take risks, you'll never accomplish great things. Everybody dies, but not everyone has lived.
C. S. Lewis
Now God, who has made us, knows what we are and that our happiness lies in Him.
C. S. Lewis
Affection would not be affection if it was loudly and frequently expressed to produce it in public is like getting your household furniture out for a move. It did very well in its place, but it looks shabby or tawdry or grotesque in the sunshine.
C. S. Lewis
