More quotes by C. S. Lewis
And I was the Lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.
C. S. Lewis
Many things, such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly - are done worst when we try hardest to do them.
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
And how could we endure to live and let time pass if we were always crying for one day or one year to come back--if we did not know that every day in a life fills the whole life with expectation and memory and that these are that day?
C. S. Lewis
Most of us are not really approaching the subject in order to find out what Christianity says we are approaching it in the hope of finding support from Christianity for the views of our own party.
C. S. Lewis
I have at last come to the end of the Faerie Queene: and though I say at last, I almost wish he had lived to write six books more as he had hoped to do — so much have I enjoyed it.
C. S. Lewis
Because God created the Natural - invented it out of His love and artistry - it demands our reverence.
C. S. Lewis
I have discovered that the people who believe most strongly in the next life do the most good in the present one.
C. S. Lewis
I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that he gives us the gift of suffering. Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world. You see, we are like blocks of stone out of which the Sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of his chisel, which hurt us so much are what make us perfect.
C. S. Lewis
Each generation exercises power over its successors: and each, in so far as it modifies the environment bequeathed to it and rebels against tradition, resists and limits the power of its predecessors.
C. S. Lewis
It is very true. But even a traitor may mend. I have known one that did.
C. S. Lewis
I'm a beast, I am, and a Badger what's more. We don't change. We hold on.
C. S. Lewis
Afflictions are... if we can so take them, our share in the Passion of Christ
C. S. Lewis
Much is expected from those to whom much is given.
C. S. Lewis
Faith, in the sense in which I am here using the word, is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods.
C. S. Lewis
A thing may be morally neutral and yet the desire for that thing may be dangerous.
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
Friendship is born at that moment when a single particular person claims to a different: 'What! You far too? I assumed I was the only real one particular.
C. S. Lewis
Seek Unity and you will find neither Unity nor Truth.Seek the light of truth, and you will find Unity and Truth.
C. S. Lewis
Wherever any precept of traditional morality is simply challenged to produce its credentials, as though the burden of proof lay on it, we have taken the wrong position.
C. S. Lewis
