C. S. Lewis
Every poet and musician and artist, but for grace>Grace, is drawn away from love of the thing he tells to love of the telling till, down in Deep Hell, they cannot be interested in God at all but only in what they say about Him.
C. S. Lewis
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
C. S. Lewis
God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous
C. S. Lewis
One can regard the moral law as an illusion, and so cut himself off from the common ground of humanity.
C. S. Lewis
We regard God as an airman regards his parachute it's there for emergencies but he hopes he'll never have to use it.
C. S. Lewis
We have to be continually reminded of what we believe.
