More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The demand of the loveless and the self-imprisoned that they should be allowed to blackmail the universe: that till they consent to be happy (on their own terms) no one else shall taste joy: that theirs should be the final power that Hell should be able to veto Heaven.
C. S. Lewis
The universe rings true whenever you fairly test it.
C. S. Lewis
The desire for bad art is the desire bred of habit: like the smoker's desire for tobacco, more marked by the extreme malaise of denial than by any very strong delight in fruition.
C. S. Lewis
We thought the Duke would have been pleased if the King's Majesty would have married his daughter, but nothing came of that--' Squints, and has freckles,' said Caspian. Oh, poor girl,' said Lucy.
C. S. Lewis
Readers are advised to remember that the devil is a liar.
C. S. Lewis
They Open A Door And Enter A World
C. S. Lewis
What you want is practice, practice, practice. It doesn’t matter what we write (at least this is my view) at our age, so long as we write continually as well as we can. I feel that every time I write a page either of prose or of verse, with real effort, even if it’s thrown into the fire the next minute, I am so much further on.
C. S. Lewis
I am in love and out of it I will not go.
C. S. Lewis
Every joy is beyond all others.
C. S. Lewis
No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing.
C. S. Lewis
Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it.
C. S. Lewis
In God there is no hunger that needs to be filled, only plenteousness that desires to give.
C. S. Lewis
Child,' said the Lion, 'I am telling you your story, not hers. No one is told any story but their own.
C. S. Lewis
Feeling like the voice she liked best in all the world was calling her name.
C. S. Lewis
If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream.
C. S. Lewis
Joy is the serious business of heaven. Our merriment must be between people who take each other seriously.
C. S. Lewis
The stamp of the Saint is that he can waive his own rights and obey the Lord Jesus.
C. S. Lewis
I may repeat 'Do as you would be done by' till I am black in the face, but I cannot really carry it out till I love my neighbor as myself: and I cannot learn to love my neighbor as myself till I learn to love Godand I cannot learn to love God except by learning to obey him.
C. S. Lewis
Grief. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
C. S. Lewis
Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.
C. S. Lewis
