More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Forgive us as we forgive- we are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it is to refuse Gods mercy for ourselves.
C. S. Lewis
But why,... if you have a serious comment to make on the real life of men, must you do it by talking about a phantasmagoric never-never land of your own? Because, I take it, one of the main things the author wants to say is that the real life of men is of that mythical and heroic quality.
C. S. Lewis
If we only have the will to walk, then God is pleased with our stumbles.
C. S. Lewis
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.
C. S. Lewis
If the world is meaningless, then so are we if we mean something, we do not mean alone.
C. S. Lewis
The story itself should force its moral upon you. You find out what the moral is by writing the story.
C. S. Lewis
No thanks, said Digory, I don't know that I care much about living on and on after everyone I know is dead. I'd rather live an ordinary time and die and go to Heaven.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
There have been times when I think we do not desire heaven but more often I find myself wondering whether, in our heart of hearts, we have ever desired anything else.
C. S. Lewis
What we learn from experience depends on the kind of philosophy we bring to experience.
C. S. Lewis
Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion. Ooh said Susan. I'd thought he was a man. Is he-quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion...Safe? said Mr Beaver ...Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.
C. S. Lewis
Delight is incomplete until it is expressed.
C. S. Lewis
A Christian is not someone who never goes wrong, but one who is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin again, because the Christ-life is inside him.
C. S. Lewis
If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
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 sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal.
C. S. Lewis
An unliterary man may be defined as one who reads books once only.
C. S. Lewis
Kindness consents very readily to the removal of its object – we have all met people whose kindness to animals is constantly leading them to kill animals lest they should suffer. Kindness, merely as such, cares not whether its object becomes good or bad, provided only that it escapes suffering.
C. S. Lewis
I hope no one who reads this book has been quite as miserable as Susan and Lucy were that night but if you have been - if you've been up all night and cried till you have no more tears left in you - you will know that there comes in the end a sort of quietness. You feel as if nothing is ever going to happen again.
