God will look to every soul like its first love because He is its first love.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Everything except God has some natural superior everything except unformed matter has some natural inferior.
C. S. Lewis
Image
But the great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not. It is not wearied by our sins, or our indifference and, therefore, it is quite relentless in its determination that we shall be cured of those sins, at whatever cost to us, at whatever cost to Him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The longer we stay in Hell, the more we become attached to it.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.

C. S. Lewis
Image
We have not long to live in any event. Let us spend what is left in seeking the unpeopled world behind the sunrise.
C. S. Lewis
Image
A promise must be about actions: no one can promise to go on feeling a certain way.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Could one start a Stagnation Party-which at General Elections would boast that during its term of office no event of the least importance had taken place?
C. S. Lewis
Image
Surely arrested development consists not in refusing to lose old things but in failing to add new things.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Aslan's instructions always work there are no exceptions.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise, it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
And he writhed inside at what seemed the cruelty and unfairness of the demand. He had not yet learned that if you do one good deed your reward usually is to do another and harder and better one.
C. S. Lewis
Image
A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.
C. S. Lewis
Image
To get even near humility, even for a moment, is like a drink of cold water to a man in a desert.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The game is to have them all running about with fire extinguishers when there is a flood, and all crowding to that side of the boat which is already nearly gunwale under.

With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere.
