C. S. Lewis
We who have been true readers all our life fully realize the enormous of our being which we owe to authors.
C. S. Lewis
It takes all sorts to make a world or a church. This may be even truer of a church. If grace perfects nature it must expand all our natures into the full richness of the diversity which God intended when He made them, and Heaven will display far more variety than Hell.
C. S. Lewis
The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing can seem extraordinary until you have discovered what is ordinary.

C. S. Lewis
He is not the soul of Nature, nor any part of Nature. He inhabits eternity: He dwells in a high and holy place: heaven is His throne, not his vehicle, earth is his footstool, not his vesture. One day he will dismantle both and make a new heaven and earth. He is not to be identified even with the 'divine spark' in man. He is 'God and not man.
C. S. Lewis
Joy is the serious business of heaven. Our merriment must be between people who take each other seriously.
C. S. Lewis
They Open A Door And Enter A World
C. S. Lewis
Well!' said Puddleglum, rubbing his hands. 'This is just what I needed. If these chaps don't teach me to take a serious view of life, I don't know what will.
C. S. Lewis
It costs God nothing, so far as we know, to create nice things: but to convert rebellious wills cost Him crucifixion.
C. S. Lewis
We do not enjoy a story fully at the first reading. Not till the curiosity, the sheer narrative lust, has been given its sop and laid asleep, are we at leisure to savour the real beauties.
C. S. Lewis
'Being in love' first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep the promise.
C. S. Lewis
It is by human avarice or human stupidity, not by the churlishness of nature, that we have poverty and overwork.
C. S. Lewis
In order that we finite beings may apprehend the Emporer He translates His glory into multiple forms - into stars, woods, waters, beasts, and the bodies of men.
C. S. Lewis
The absent are easily refuted.
