More quotes by C. S. Lewis
We do not see into men’s hearts. We cannot judge, and are indeed forbidden to judge.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot love a fellow creature fully till you love God.
C. S. Lewis
[the difference between the old and the new education being] in a word, the old was a kind of propagation-men transmitting manhood to men the new is merely propaganda.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is...the sort of love one can imagine between angels.
C. S. Lewis
That fierce imprisonment in the self is but the obverse of the self-giving which is absolute reality.
C. S. Lewis
Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.
C. S. Lewis
Even in this world of course it is the stupidest children who are most childish and the stupidest grown-ups who are most grown-up.
C. S. Lewis
Joy is never in our power and pleasure often is
C. S. Lewis
We only learn to behave ourselves in the presence of God.
C. S. Lewis
All your life an unattainable ecstasy has hovered just beyond the grasp of your consciousness. The day is coming when you will wake to find, beyond all hope, that you have attained it, or else, that it was within your reach and you have lost it forever.
C. S. Lewis
Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.
C. S. Lewis
I cannot understand how a man can appear in print claiming to disbelieve everything that he presupposes when he puts on the surplice. I feel it is a form of prostitution.
C. S. Lewis
The desire for bad art is the desire bred of habit: like the smoker's desire for tobacco, more marked by the extreme malaise of denial than by any very strong delight in fruition.
C. S. Lewis
People talk as if grief were just a feeling -- as if it weren't the continually renewed shock of setting out again and again on familiar roads and being brought up short by the grim frontier post that now blocks them.
C. S. Lewis
Though we cannot experience our life as an endless present, we are eternal in God's eyes that is, in our deepest reality.
C. S. Lewis
One road leads home and a thousand roads lead into the wilderness.
C. S. Lewis
The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only - and that is to support the ultimate career.
C. S. Lewis
Yes, pride is a perpetual nagging temptation. Keep on knocking it on the head, but don't be too worried about it. As long as one knows one is proud, one is safe from the worst form of pride.
C. S. Lewis
What he says, even on his knees, about his own sinfulness is all parrot talk. At bottom, he still believes he has run up a very favorable credit-balance in the Enemy's ledger by allowing himself to be converted, and thinks that he is showing great humility and condescension in going to church with these 'smug', commonplace neighbors at all.
C. S. Lewis
When you have reached your own room, be kind to those Who have chosen different doors and to those who are still in the hall.
