More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask - half our great theological and metaphysical problems - are like that.
C. S. Lewis
You die and die and then you are beyond death.
C. S. Lewis
Life isn't all fricasseed frogs and eel pie.
C. S. Lewis
I now see that I spent most of my life in doing neither what I ought nor what I liked.
C. S. Lewis
And I say also this. I do not think the forest would be so bright, nor the water so warm, nor love so sweet, if there were no danger in the lakes.
C. S. Lewis
My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?
C. S. Lewis
Here. All of you. And you, doorkeeper. No one is to be let out of the house today. And anyone I catch talking about this young lady will be first beaten to death and then burned alive and after that be kept on bread and water for six weeks. There.
C. S. Lewis
Christianity thinks of human individuals not as mere members of a group or items in a list, but as organs in a body-different from one another and each contributing what no other could.
C. S. Lewis
Wherever any precept of traditional morality is simply challenged to produce its credentials, as though the burden of proof lay on it, we have taken the wrong position.
C. S. Lewis
Humility, after the first shock, is cheerful virtue.
C. S. Lewis
the Divine Nature wounds and perhaps destroys us merely by being what it is.
C. S. Lewis
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very' otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
C. S. Lewis
If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream.
C. S. Lewis
God is the only comfort, He is also the supreme terror: the thing we most need and the thing we most want to hide from.
C. S. Lewis
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us.
C. S. Lewis
Put first things first and we get second things thrown in: put second things first & we lose both first and second things.
C. S. Lewis
There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.
C. S. Lewis
You people have no imagination!
C. S. Lewis
When we see the face of God we shall know that we have always known it. He has been a party to, has made, sustained and moved moment by moment within, all our earthly experiences of innocent love.
C. S. Lewis
If conversion makes no improvements in a man's outward actions then I think his 'conversion' was largely imaginary.
C. S. Lewis
