More quotes by C. S. Lewis
and a charge of lying against someone whom you have always found truthful is a very serious thing a very serious thing indeed.
C. S. Lewis
Slowly, quietly, like snow-flakes—like the small flakes that come when it is going to snow all night —little flakes of me, my impressions, my selections, are settling down on the image of her. The real shape wil be quite hidden in the end.
C. S. Lewis
Every disability conceals a vocation, if only we can find it, which will 'turn the necessity to glorious gain.
C. S. Lewis
Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life's problems fall into place of their own accord. J.I. Packer Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you will get neither.
C. S. Lewis
Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.
C. S. Lewis
Music. A meaningless acceleration in the rhythm of celestial experience.
C. S. Lewis
Nature never taught me that there exists a God of glory and of infinite majesty. I had to learn that in other ways. But nature gave the word glory a meaning for me. I still do not know where else I could have found one.
C. S. Lewis
I have been feeling very much lately that cheerful insecurity is what our Lord asks of us.
C. S. Lewis
Be good, sweet maid, and don't forget that this involves being as clever as you can.
C. S. Lewis
I know all about the despair of overcoming chronic temptation. It is not serious, provided self-offended petulance, annoyance at breaking records, impatience, etc., don't get the upper hand. No amount of falls will really undo us if we keep picking ourselves up each time...The only fatal thing is to lose one's temper and give up.
C. S. Lewis
Mortal lovers must not try to remain at the first step for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot and from it we wake in despair.
C. S. Lewis
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
C. S. Lewis
Even I never dreamed of Magic like this!
C. S. Lewis
I believe that many who find that nothing happens when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.
C. S. Lewis
We may note in passing that He (Jesus) was never regarded as a mere moral teacher. He did not produce that effect on any of the people who actually met Him. He produced mainly three effects - Hatred - Terror - Adoration. There was no trace of people expressing mild admiration.
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
The truth is, of course, that what one regards as interruptions are precisely one's life.
C. S. Lewis
We know nothing of religion here: we only think of Christ.
C. S. Lewis
Either Jesus is the Son of God or a madman or worse. But His being just a great teacher? He's not left that open to us.
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
