The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God. ~ Mere Christianity, By C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis
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
Love is unselfishly choosing for another's highest good.
C. S. Lewis
Thirst was made for water inquiry for truth. What you now call the free play of inquiry has neither more nor less to do with the ends for which intelligence was given you than masturbation has to do with marriage.
C. S. Lewis
Most people don't need to be taught, they need only to be reminded
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
At a well in a yard they met a man who was beating a boy. The stick burst into a flower in the mans hand. He tried to drop it, but it stuck to his hand. His arm became a branch, his body the trunk of a tree, his feet took root.
C. S. Lewis
Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.
C. S. Lewis
A woman means by Unselfishness chiefly taking trouble for others a man means not giving trouble to others...thus, while the woman thinks of doing good offices and the man of respecting other people's rights, each sex, without any obvious unreason, can and does regard the other as radically selfish.
C. S. Lewis
We poison the wine as He decants it into us murder a melody He would play with us as the instrument...Hence all sin, whatever else it is, is sacrilege.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Reality, in fact, is always something you couldn't have guessed. That's one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It's a religion you couldn't have guessed.
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
In Charn [Jadis] had taken no notice of Polly (till the very end) because Digory was the one she wanted to make use of. Now that she had Uncle Andrew, she took no notice of Digory. I expect most witches are like that. They are not interested in things or people unless they can use them they are terribly practical.
C. S. Lewis
the Divine Nature wounds and perhaps destroys us merely by being what it is.
C. S. Lewis
You must not do, you must not even try to do, the will of the Father unless you are prepared to 'know of the doctrine'.
C. S. Lewis
To admire Satan [in Paradise Lost] is to give one's vote not only for a world of misery, but also for a world of lies and propaganda, of wishful thinking, of incessant autobiography.
C. S. Lewis
An almost perfect relationship with his father was the earthly root of all his wisdom. From his own father, he said, he first learned that Fatherhood must be at the core of the universe. [speaking of George MacDonald]
C. S. Lewis
If only this toothache would go away, I could write another chapter on the problem of pain.
C. S. Lewis
Either Jesus is the Son of God or a madman or worse. But His being just a great teacher? He's not left that open to us.
C. S. Lewis
