More quotes by C. S. Lewis
I haven't any language weak enough to depict the weakness of my spiritual life. If I weakened it enough it would cease to be language at all. As when you try to turn the gas-ring a little lower still, and it merely goes out.
C. S. Lewis
God can show Himself as He really is only to real men. And that means not simply to men who are individually good, but to men who are united together in a body, loving one another, helping one another, showing Him to one another. For that is what God meant humanity to be like like players in one band, or organs in one body.
C. S. Lewis
Thus we have now for many centuries triumphed over nature to the extent of making certain secondary characteristics of the male (such as the beard) disagreeable to nearly all the females—and there is more in that than you might suppose.
C. S. Lewis
More like the real thing,' said the lord Digory softly. - The Last Battle
C. S. Lewis
What one must not do is to rule out the supernatural as the one impossible explanation.
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 love of knowledge is a kind of madness.
C. S. Lewis
Every Christian would agree that a man's spiritual health is exactly proportional to his love for God.
C. S. Lewis
Dearest Daughter. I knew you would not be long in coming to me. Joy shall be yours.
C. S. Lewis
We must picture Hell as a state where everyone is perpetually concerned about his own dignity and advancement, where everyone has a grievance, and where everyone lives the deadly serious passions of envy, self-importance, and resentment.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing less will shake a man — or at any rate a man like me — out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself.
C. S. Lewis
One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts.
C. S. Lewis
It is wonderful what you can do when you have to.
C. S. Lewis
If Christianity was something we were making up, of course we could make it easier. But it is not.
C. S. Lewis
As for wrinkles--Pshaw! Why shouldn't we have wrinkles? Honorable insignia of long service in this warfare.
C. S. Lewis
With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere.
C. S. Lewis
Once a man is united to God, how could he not live forever?
C. S. Lewis
Free will, though it makes evil possible, also makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
C. S. Lewis
I have often repented of speech but hardly ever of silence.
C. S. Lewis
When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
C. S. Lewis
