More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in.
C. S. Lewis
As for all I can tell, the only difference is that what many see we call a real thing, and what only one sees we call a dream.
C. S. Lewis
The real trouble about the duty of forgiveness is that you do it with all your might on Monday and then find on Wednesday that it hasn't stayed put and all has to be done over again.
C. S. Lewis
When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love them.
C. S. Lewis
The knight is a man of blood and iron, a man familiar with the sight of smashed faces and the ragged stumps of lopped-off limbs he is also a demure, almost a maidenlike, guest in hall, a gentle, modest, unobtrusive man. He is not a compromise or happy mean between ferocity and meekness he is fierce to the nth and meek to the nth.
C. S. Lewis
Since I am I, I must make an act of self-surrender, however small or however easy, in living to God rather than to my self.
C. S. Lewis
There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.
C. S. Lewis
If you don't listen to theology, that won't mean you have no ideas about God, it will mean you have a lot of wrong ones.
C. S. Lewis
The more lucidly we think, the more we are cut off: the more deeply we enter into reality, the less we can think.
C. S. Lewis
But no one except Lucy knew that as it circled the mast it had whispered to her, Courage, dear heart, and the voice, she felt sure, was Aslan's, and with the voice a delicious smell breathed in her face.
C. S. Lewis
Love is the great conqueror of lust.
C. S. Lewis
Excess of love, did ye say? There was no excess, there was defect. She loved her son too little, not too much. If she had loved him more there'd be no difficulty.
C. S. Lewis
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung.
C. S. Lewis
Looking for God-or Heaven-by exploring space is like reading or seeing all Shakespeare's plays in the hope that you will find Shakespeare as one of the characters.
C. S. Lewis
The whole difficulty of understanding Hell is that the thing to be understood is so nearly nothing.
C. S. Lewis
As long as this deliberate refusal to understand things from above, even where such understanding is possible, continues, it is idle to talk of any final victory over materialism.
C. S. Lewis
The discomfiture we feel may be our most accurate human sensation reminding us we are not quite at home here.
C. S. Lewis
Devils are depicted with bats' wings and good angels with birds' wings, not because anyone holds that moral deterioration would be likely to turn feathers into membrane, but because most men like birds better than bats.
C. S. Lewis
Fools! said the man, stamping his foot with rage. That is the sort of talk that brought me here, and I'd better have been drowned or never born. Do you hear what I say? This is where dreams — dreams, do you understand — come to life, come real. Not daydreams: dreams.
C. S. Lewis
Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it.
C. S. Lewis
