More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The Eternal Being, who knows everything and who created the whole universe, became not only a man but (before that) a baby, and before that a fetus in a woman's body.
C. S. Lewis
As St. Paul points out, Christ never meant that we were to remain children in intelligence: on the contrary, He told us to be not only as harmless as doves, but also as wise as serpents. He wants a child's heart, but a grown-up's head.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
We have had enough, once and for all, of Hedonism--the gloomy philosophy which says that Pleasure is the only good.
C. S. Lewis
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
His face had become very red and his mouth and fingers were sticky. He did not look either clever or handsome, whatever the Queen might say.
C. S. Lewis
After an error you need not only to remove the causes but also to correct the error itself: after a sin you must not only, if possible, remove the temptation, you must also go back and repent the sin itself. In each case an 'undoing' is required.
C. S. Lewis
Edmund, who was becoming a nastier person every minute, thought that he had scored a great success, and went on at once to say, 'There she goes again. What's the matter with her?
C. S. Lewis
The only moral that is of any value is that which arises inevitably from the whole cast of the author's mind.
C. S. Lewis
When things go wrong, you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.
C. S. Lewis
Emerson said, Do you love me? means Do you see the same truth?-Or at least, Do you care about the same truth?
