More quotes by C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Never exaggerate. Never say more than you really mean.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.
C. S. Lewis
A man who has lived in many places is not likely to be deceived by the local errors of his native village the scholar has lived in many times and is therefore in some degree immune from the great cataract of nonsense that pours from the press and the microphone of his own age.
C. S. Lewis
You can't get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.
C. S. Lewis
Edmund, give a special goodbye to Trumpkin for me. He's been a brick.
C. S. Lewis
You know me better than you think, you know, and you shall know me better yet.
C. S. Lewis
To see, in some measure, like God. His love and His knowledge are not distinct from one another, not from Him. We could almost say He sees because He loves, and therefore loves although He sees.
C. S. Lewis
'Being in love' first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep the promise.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is...the sort of love one can imagine between angels.
C. S. Lewis
