More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The central Christian belief is that Christ's death has somehow put us right with God and given us a fresh start. Theories as to how it did this are another matter. A good many different theories have been held as to how it works what all Christians are agreed on is that it does work.
C. S. Lewis
I am a product [...of] endless books. My father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them.... I had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.
C. S. Lewis
That is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporal sufferring, No future bliss can make up for it not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory.
C. S. Lewis
We do not see into men’s hearts. We cannot judge, and are indeed forbidden to judge.
C. S. Lewis
when pain is to be born, a little courage helps more than much knowledge, a little human sympathy more than much courage, and the least tincture of the love of God more than all.
C. S. Lewis
The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike...Unless we return to the crude and nursery-like belief in objective values, we perish.
C. S. Lewis
Even when I feared and detested Christianity, I was struck by its essential unity, which, in spite of its divisions, it has never lost. I trembled on recognizing the same unmistakable aroma coming from the writings of Dante and Bunyan, Thomas Aquinas and William Law.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship arises out of mere Companionship when two or more of the companions discover that they have in common some insight or interest or even taste which the others do not share and which, till that moment, each believed to be his own unique treasure (or burden).
C. S. Lewis
Wouldn't it be dreadful if some day in our own world, at home, men start going wild inside, like the animals here, and still look like men, so that you'd never know which were which.
C. S. Lewis
God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine. A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself.
C. S. Lewis
Unless Christianity is wholly false, the perception of ourselves which we have in moments of shame must be the only true one.
C. S. Lewis
It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to.
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
Certain things, if not seen as lovely or detestable, are not being correctly seen at all.
C. S. Lewis
The change which the writing wrought in me (and of which I did not write) was only a beginning only to prepare me for the gods' surgery. They used my own pen to probe my wound.
C. S. Lewis
Friends are like coals in a fire - together, they glow apart, they grow cold.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life.
C. S. Lewis
Disobedience to conscience is voluntary bad poetry, on the other hand, is usually not made on purpose.
C. S. Lewis
God is the food our spirits were designed to feed on.
C. S. Lewis
I think we all sin by needlessly disobeying the apostolic injunction to rejoice as much as by anything else
C. S. Lewis
