C. S. Lewis
You cannot love a fellow creature fully till you love God.
C. S. Lewis
It is wonderful what you can do when you have to.
C. S. Lewis
They have chosen cunning instead of belief. Their prison is only in their minds, yet they are in that prison and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out.
C. S. Lewis
I was wondering — I mean — could there be some mistake? Because nobody called me and Scrubb, you know. It was we who asked to come here. You would not have called me unless I had been calling you.

C. S. Lewis
I sometimes pray not for self-knowledge in general but for just so much self knowledge at the moment as I can bear and use at the moment the little daily dose.
C. S. Lewis
We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.
C. S. Lewis
The discomfiture we feel may be our most accurate human sensation reminding us we are not quite at home here.
C. S. Lewis
Precisely because we cannot predict the moment, we must be ready at all moments.
C. S. Lewis
Whatever you do, He will make good of it. But not the good He had prepared for you if you had obeyed him.
C. S. Lewis
Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything.
C. S. Lewis
Oh, I'm a dangerous criminal, I am,' said the dwarf cheerfully.
C. S. Lewis
In Science we have been reading only the notes to a poem in Christianity we find the poem itself.
C. S. Lewis
No time for better words, no time to unsay anything. -Til We Have Faces
C. S. Lewis
Friends are like coals in a fire - together, they glow apart, they grow cold.
C. S. Lewis
