More quotes by C. S. Lewis
We long for more and God's promise is that there is more awaiting us. More to delight us than we will ever exhaust.
C. S. Lewis
Prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them.
C. S. Lewis
You all know, said the Guide, that security is mortals' greatest enemy.
C. S. Lewis
A God. The God. One word can make all the difference in the world.
C. S. Lewis
If the world is meaningless, then so are we if we mean something, we do not mean alone.
C. S. Lewis
Friends are like coals in a fire - together, they glow apart, they grow cold.
C. S. Lewis
Those who tread 'adult' as a term of approval cannot hope to be considered adult themselves. When I became a man I put away childish things, along with the desire to be very grown up.
C. S. Lewis
God has infinite attention to spare for each one of us.
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
Almost certainly God is not in time. His life does not consist of moments one following another...Ten-thirty-- and every other moment from the beginning of the world--is always Present for Him. If you like to put it this way, He has all eternity in which to listen to the split second of prayer put up by a pilot as his plane crashes in flames.
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
Catch {a man} at the moment when he is really poor in spirit and smuggle into his mind the gratifying reflection, By jove, I'm being humble, and almost immediately pride - pride at his own humility - will appear.
C. S. Lewis
Democracy demands that little men should not take big ones too seriously it dies when it is full of little men who think they are big themselves.
C. S. Lewis
The truth is, of course, that what one regards as interruptions are precisely one's life.
C. S. Lewis
The beauty of life, is that you don't have to be modernly beautiful to live it.
C. S. Lewis
What the soul cries out for is the resurrection of the senses. Even in this life, matter would be nothing to us if it were not the source of sensations.
C. S. Lewis
I came alive when I started loving you.
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
Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.
C. S. Lewis
When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
C. S. Lewis
