The more lucidly we think, the more we are cut off: the more deeply we enter into reality, the less we can think.

An obligation to feel can freeze feelings.
C. S. Lewis
If you simply try to tell the truth you will, nine times out of ten, be original without ever having noticed it.
C. S. Lewis
[Something] does not rise to the dignity of error.
C. S. Lewis
I think we all sin by needlessly disobeying the apostolic injunction to rejoice as much as by anything else
C. S. Lewis
Certain things, if not seen as lovely or detestable, are not being correctly seen at all.
C. S. Lewis
Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything.
C. S. Lewis
Do not waste time bothering whether you love your neighbor act as if you did.
C. S. Lewis
Perhaps the experience had been so complete that repetition would be vulgarity - like asking to hear the same symphony twice in a day.
C. S. Lewis
We come to Scripture not to learn a subject but to steep ourselves in a person.
C. S. Lewis
When I'm older I'll understand said Lucy, I am older and I don't think I want to understand, replied Edmund
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
God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than He is of any other slacker.
C. S. Lewis
A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest. He also said: No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally - and often far more - worth reading at the age of 50 and beyond.
C. S. Lewis
There was nothing medieval people liked better, or did better, than sorting out and tidying up. Of all our modern inventions I suspect that they would most have admired the card index.
C. S. Lewis
We only learn to behave ourselves in the presence of God.
C. S. Lewis
The next moment is as much beyond our grasp, and as much in God's care, as that a hundred years away. Care for the next minute is as foolish as care for a day in the next thousand years. In neither can we do anything, in both God is doing everything.
C. S. Lewis
The world was made partly that there may be prayer partly that our prayers might be answered.
C. S. Lewis
God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain.
C. S. Lewis
Unless thought is valid we have no reason to believe in the real universe.
C. S. Lewis
Don't think of God in terms of forms, because forms are limited and God is unlimited.
C. S. Lewis
