More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Tribulations cannot cease until God either sees us remade or sees that our remaking is now hopeless.
C. S. Lewis
To excuse what can really produce good excuses is not Christian charity it is only fairness. To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable in you.
C. S. Lewis
The beauty of life, is that you don't have to be modernly beautiful to live it.
C. S. Lewis
I think we must attack -- wherever we meet it -- the nonsensical idea that mutually exclusive propositions about God can both be true.
C. S. Lewis
If one is only to talk from first-hand experience, conversation would be a very poor business.
C. S. Lewis
The point is that for our ancestors, the universe was a picture for modern physics it is a story.
C. S. Lewis
What we call Man's power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.
C. S. Lewis
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
Believing things on authority only means believing them because you have been told them by someone you think trustworthy. Ninety-nine per cent of the things you believe are believed on authority... Every historical event in the world is believed on authority. None of us has seen the Norman Conquest or the defeat of the Armada.
C. S. Lewis
Very often the only way to get a quality in reality is to start behaving as if you had it already.
C. S. Lewis
What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.
C. S. Lewis
The real moon,if you could reach it and survive it, would in a deep and deadly sense be just like anywhere else...no man would find an abiding strangness on the moon unless he were the sort of man who could find it in his own back garden.
C. S. Lewis
And so take away his work, which was his life [. . .] and all his glory and his great deeds? Make a child and a dotard of him? Keep him to myself at that cost? Make him so mine that he was no longer his?
C. S. Lewis
Even when I feared and detested Christianity, I was struck by its essential unity, which, in spite of its divisions, it has never lost. I trembled on recognizing the same unmistakable aroma coming from the writings of Dante and Bunyan, Thomas Aquinas and William Law.
C. S. Lewis
You can begin as if nothing had ever gone wrong. White as snow.
C. S. Lewis
And men said that the blood of the stars flowed in her veins
C. S. Lewis
The event of falling in love... in one high bound it has overleaped the massive wall of our selfhood it has made appetite itself altruistic, tossed personal happiness aside as a triviality and planted the interests of another in the centre of our being.
C. S. Lewis
Provocation doesn't make me ill-tempered: it only shows me how ill-tempered I am.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing can seem extraordinary until you have discovered what is ordinary.
C. S. Lewis
And how could we endure to live and let time pass if we were always crying for one day or one year to come back--if we did not know that every day in a life fills the whole life with expectation and memory and that these are that day?
C. S. Lewis
