More quotes by C. S. Lewis
On the whole, God’s love for us is a much safer subject to think about than our love for Him.
C. S. Lewis
Really great moral teachers never do introduce new moralities: it is quacks and cranks who do that.
C. S. Lewis
Ink is the great cure for all human ills.
C. S. Lewis
But how can the characters in a play guess the plot? We are not the playwright, we are not the producer, we are not even the audience. We are on the stage. To play well the scenes in which we are on concerns us much more than to guess about the scenes that follow it.
C. S. Lewis
The unhistorical are usually, without knowing it, enslaved to a fairly recent past.
C. S. Lewis
I believe that many who find that nothing happens when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.
C. S. Lewis
First be sure that you know exactly what you want to say. Then be sure you have said exactly that.
C. S. Lewis
Very few modern people think Friendship a love of comparable value or even a love at all.
C. S. Lewis
Provided that any of those neighbours sing out of tune or have boots that squeak, or double chins, or odd clothes, the patient will quite easily believe that their religion must therefore be somehow ridiculous.
C. S. Lewis
you had nothing to say about it and yet made the nothing up into words.
C. S. Lewis
Edmund, give a special goodbye to Trumpkin for me. He's been a brick.
C. S. Lewis
What can be better than to get out a book on Saturday afternoon and thrust all mundane considerations away till next week.
C. S. Lewis
If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you are not conceited, it means that you are very conceited indeed.
C. S. Lewis
Giant Wimbleweather burst into one of those not very intelligent laughs to which the nicer sort of Giants are so liable. He checked himself at once and looked as grace as a turnip by the time Reepicheep discovered where the noise came from.
C. S. Lewis
What can you ever really know of other people's souls — of their temptations, their opportunities, their struggles? One soul in the whole of creation you do know: and it is the only one whose fate is placed in your hands. If there is a God, you are, in a sense, alone with Him.
C. S. Lewis
A spoiled saint, a Pharisee, an inquisitor, or a magician, makes better sport to Hell than a mere common tyrant or debauchee.
C. S. Lewis
Man's conquest of Nature turns out, in the moment of its consummation, to be Nature's conquest of Man.
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
The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only - and that is to support the ultimate career.
C. S. Lewis
God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous
C. S. Lewis
