if anyone present wishes to make me the subject of his wit, I am very much at his service--with my sword--whenever he has leisure.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The sane would do no good if they made themselves mad to help madmen.

Image
If there is equality it is in His love, not in us.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Now God, who has made us, knows what we are and that our happiness lies in Him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It's always winter but it's never Christmas.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If religion does not make us better people, it will make us very much worse. And of all the bad men who have lived, the religious bad man is the worst of all.
C. S. Lewis
Image
No good poem, however confessional it may be, is just a self-expression. Who on earth would claim that the pearl expresses the oyster?
C. S. Lewis
Image
It may well be that by trickery of priests men have sometimes taken a mortal's voice for a god's. But it will not work the other way. No one who hears a god's voice takes it for a man's.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness. And it appears, from all the records, that though He has often rebuked us and condemned us, He has never regarded us with contempt. He has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.

Image
Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We must beware of the Past, mustn't we? I mean that any fixing of the mind on old evils beyond what is absolutely necessary for repenting our own sins and forgiving those of others is certainly useless and usually bad for us. Notice in Dante that the lost souls are entirely concerned with their past! Not so the saved.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We have failed to practise ourselves the kind of behaviour we expect from other people.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Human beings judge one another by their external actions. God judges them by their moral choices.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Those who would like the God of scripture to be more purely ethical, do not know what they ask.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Enemy-occupied territory---that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us to take part in a great campaign of sabotage.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I believe that many who find that nothing happens when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.

Image
I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.

Most people don't need to be taught, they need only to be reminded

We must lay before him what is in us not what ought to be in us.

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.
