More quotes by C. S. Lewis
There seems no plan because it is all plan.
C. S. Lewis
We were promised sufferings. They were part of the program. We were even told, 'Blessed are they that mourn,' and I accept it. I've got nothing that I hadn't bargained for. Of course it is different when the thing happens to oneself, not to others, and in reality, not imagination.
C. S. Lewis
Once in our world, a Stable had something in it that was bigger than our whole world.
C. S. Lewis
Did I hate him, then? Indeed, I believe so. A love like that can grow to be nine-tenths hatred and still call itself love.
C. S. Lewis
The false religion of lust is baser than the false religion of mother-love or patriotism or art: but lust is less likely to be made into a religion.
C. S. Lewis
We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.
C. S. Lewis
The devil loves 'curing' a small fault by giving you a great one.
C. S. Lewis
The worldly man treats certain people kindly because he 'likes' them: the Christian, trying to treat every one kindly, finds him liking more and more people as he goes on - including people he could not even have imagined himself liking at the beginning.
C. S. Lewis
What one must not do is to rule out the supernatural as the one impossible explanation.
C. S. Lewis
That's the worst of girls, said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. They never can carry a map in their heads. That's because our heads have something inside them, said Lucy.
C. S. Lewis
For the power of Man to make himself what he pleases means... the power of some men to make other men what THEY please.
C. S. Lewis
Man approaches God most nearly when he is in one sense least like God. For what can be more unlike than fullness and need, sovereignty and humility, righteousness and penitence, limitless power and a cry for help?
C. S. Lewis
Where, except in uncreated light, can the darkness be drowned?
C. S. Lewis
I do not think that all who choose wrong roads perish but their rescue consists in being put back on the right road.
C. S. Lewis
The most intense joy, lies not in the having, but in the desire, Delight that never fades, bliss that is eternal, Is only your, when what you most desire, is just out of reach...Anthony Hopkins, from the movie Shadowlands, where he plays C.S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis
Christian theology can fit in science, art, morality, and the sub-Christian religious. The scientific point of view cannot fit any of these things, not even science itself.
C. S. Lewis
The humblest praise most, while cranks & malcontents praise least. Praise almost seems to be inner health made audible
C. S. Lewis
Reason is the natural order of truth but imagination is the organ of meaning.
C. S. Lewis
The fundamental laws are in the long run merely statements that every event is itself and not some different event.
C. S. Lewis
Be sure that the ins and outs of your individuality are no mystery to Him and one day they will no longer be a mystery to you.
C. S. Lewis
