Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him.

More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Many things, such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly - are done worst when we try hardest to do them.
C. S. Lewis
God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than of any other slackers. If you are thinking of becoming a Christian, I warn you you are embarking on something which is going to take the whole of you, brains and all.
C. S. Lewis
A sign of a culture that has lost its faith - Moral collapse follows upon spiritual collapse.
C. S. Lewis
Selfishness has never been admired.
C. S. Lewis
Man's conquest of Nature, if the dreams of some scientific planners are realized, means the rule of a few hundreds of men over billions upon billions of men. There neither is nor can be any simple increase of power on Man's side. Each new power won by man is a power over man as well.
C. S. Lewis
But probably every age gets, within certain limits, the science it deserves.
C. S. Lewis
You know me better than you think, you know, and you shall know me better yet.
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
Love is unselfishly choosing for another's highest good.
C. S. Lewis
If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
C. S. Lewis
If Christianity was something we were making up, of course we could make it easier. But it is not. We cannot compete, in simplicity with people who are inventing religions. How could we? We are dealing with Fact. Of course anyone can be simple if he has no facts to bother about.
C. S. Lewis
Prosperity knits a man to the world.
C. S. Lewis
Life is too deep for words, so don't try to describe it, just live it.
C. S. Lewis
Heaven will display far more variety than Hell.
C. S. Lewis
Each time you fall He'll pick you up. He knows your own efforts are never going to bring you anywhere near perfection
C. S. Lewis
The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal.
C. S. Lewis
A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is alright. This is common sense really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not well you are sleeping.
C. S. Lewis
It is because they have no Oyarsa,' said one of the pupils. It is because everyone of them wants to be a little Oyarsa himself,' said Augray.
C. S. Lewis
What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by Christians on other subjects--with their Christianity latent.
C. S. Lewis
You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down.
C. S. Lewis
