More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Mercy detached from justice grows unmerciful.
C. S. Lewis
What can you ever really know of other people's souls — of their temptations, their opportunities, their struggles? One soul in the whole of creation you do know: and it is the only one whose fate is placed in your hands. If there is a God, you are, in a sense, alone with Him.
C. S. Lewis
To make Christianity a private affair while banishing all privacy is to relegate it to the rainbow's end or the Greek Calends.
C. S. Lewis
All their life in this world and all their adventures had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.
C. S. Lewis
In your world, I have another name. You should know me by it.
C. S. Lewis
The monstrosity of sexual intercourse outside marriage is that those who indulge in it are trying to isolate one kind of union (the sexual) from all the other kinds of union which were intended to go along with it and make up the total union.
C. S. Lewis
They Open A Door And Enter A World
C. S. Lewis
I have at last come to the end of the Faerie Queene: and though I say at last, I almost wish he had lived to write six books more as he had hoped to do — so much have I enjoyed it.
C. S. Lewis
We all agree that forgiveness is a beautiful idea until we have to practice it.
C. S. Lewis
It is wonderful what you can do when you have to.
C. S. Lewis
You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down.
C. S. Lewis
Good beats upon the damned incessantly as sound waves beat on the ears of the deaf, but they cannot receive it. Their fists are clenched, their teeth are clenched, their eyes fast shut. First they will not, in the end they cannot, open their hands for gifts, or their mouth for food, or their eyes to see.
C. S. Lewis
Provocation doesn't make me ill-tempered: it only shows me how ill-tempered I am.
C. S. Lewis
I see people, as they approach me, trying to make up their minds whether they'll 'say something about it' or not. I hate if they do, and if they don't.
C. S. Lewis
Enemy occupied territory is what the world is.
C. S. Lewis
What one must not do is to rule out the supernatural as the one impossible explanation.
C. S. Lewis
Prosperity knits a man to the world.
C. S. Lewis
We want to know not how we should pray if we were perfect but how we should pray being as we now are ... It is no use to ask God with factitious earnestness for A when our whole mind is in reality filled with the desire for B. We must lay before Him what is in us, not what ought to be in us.
C. S. Lewis
There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditures excludes them.
C. S. Lewis
If you have a religion it must be cosmic.
C. S. Lewis
