C. S. Lewis
Jesus Christ did not say, 'Go into the world and tell the world that it is quite right.'
C. S. Lewis
There is nothing indulgent about the Moral Law. It is as hard as nails. If God is like the Moral Law, then He is not soft.
C. S. Lewis
In a sense it (Christianity) creates, rather than solves, the problem of pain, for pain would be no problem unless side by side with our daily experience of this painful world, we had received what we think a good assurance that ultimate reality is righteousness and loving.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
The story itself should force its moral upon you. You find out what the moral is by writing the story.
C. S. Lewis
You must have a capacity to receive, or even omnipotence can't give.
C. S. Lewis
Either the day must come when joy prevails and all the makers of misery are no longer able to infect it, or else, for ever and ever, the makers of misery can destroy in others the happiness they reject for themselves.
C. S. Lewis
I am in love and out of it I will not go.
C. S. Lewis
100 per cent of us die, and the percentage cannot be increased.
C. S. Lewis
As St. Paul points out, Christ never meant that we were to remain children in intelligence: on the contrary, He told us to be not only as harmless as doves, but also as wise as serpents. He wants a child's heart, but a grown-up's head.
C. S. Lewis
The assumption that things which have been conjured in the past will always be conjured in the guiding principle not of rational but of animal behavior.
C. S. Lewis
Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call humble nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is a nobody. Probably all you will think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him.
C. S. Lewis
Be sure that the ins and outs of your individuality are no mystery to Him and one day they will no longer be a mystery to you.
C. S. Lewis
