More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Love is the great conqueror of lust.
C. S. Lewis
A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest. He also said: No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally - and often far more - worth reading at the age of 50 and beyond.
C. S. Lewis
God became man to turn creatures into sons: not simply to produce better men of the old kind but to produce a new kind of man. It is not like teaching a horse to jump better and better but like turning a horse into a winged creature.
C. S. Lewis
Something of God... flows into us from the blue of the sky, the taste of honey, the delicious embrace of water whether cold or hot, and even from sleep itself.
C. S. Lewis
You must see that if two things are alike, then it is a further question whether the first is copied from the second, or the second from the first, or both from a third.
C. S. Lewis
Perhaps the experience had been so complete that repetition would be vulgarity - like asking to hear the same symphony twice in a day.
C. S. Lewis
Tea should be taken in solitude.
C. S. Lewis
Only the skilled can judge the skillfulness, but that is not the same as judging the value of the result.
C. S. Lewis
A great deal of what is being published by writers in the religious tradition is a scandal and is actually turning people away from the church. The liberal writers who are continually accommodating and whittling down the truth of the Gospel are responsible.
C. S. Lewis
You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve, said Aslan. And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content.
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.
C. S. Lewis
God is the food our spirits were designed to feed on.
C. S. Lewis
He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand.
C. S. Lewis
Seek Unity and you will find neither Unity nor Truth.Seek the light of truth, and you will find Unity and Truth.
C. S. Lewis
A man whose life has been transformed by Christ cannot help but have his worldview show through.
C. S. Lewis
Democracy demands that little men should not take big ones too seriously it dies when it is full of little men who think they are big themselves.
C. S. Lewis
Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.
C. S. Lewis
There is someone I accept even though I do not approve of all he does...and that someone is me
C. S. Lewis
Agnostics talk cheerfully of man's search for God but they might as well talk about the mouse's search for the cat.
C. S. Lewis
Most of us are not really approaching the subject in order to find out what Christianity says we are approaching it in the hope of finding support from Christianity for the views of our own party.
C. S. Lewis
