More quotes by C. S. Lewis
We have not, in fact, proved that science excludes miracles: we have only proved that the question of miracles, like innumerable other questions, excludes laboratory treatment.
C. S. Lewis
A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is alright. This is common sense really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not well you are sleeping.
C. S. Lewis
Don't bother too much about your feelings. When they are humble, loving, brave, give thanks for them when they are conceited, selfish, cowardly, ask to have them altered. In neither case are they you, but only a thing that happens to you. What matters is your intentions and your behavior
C. S. Lewis
They stormed and jeered at one another in long meaningless words of about twenty syllables each.
C. S. Lewis
The proper aim of giving is to put the recipient in a state where he no longer needs our gift.
C. S. Lewis
For the church is not a human society of people united by their natural affinities but the Body of Christ, in which all members, however different, (and He rejoices in their differences and by no means wishes to iron them out) must share the common life, complementing and helping one another precisely by their differences.
C. S. Lewis
When you go to church you are really listening-in to the secret wireless from out friends: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going. He does it by playing on our conceit and laziness and intellectual snobbery.
C. S. Lewis
It is hardly complimentary to God that we should choose him as an alternative to hell.
C. S. Lewis
For in self-giving, if anywhere, we touch a rhythm not only of all creation but of all being.
C. S. Lewis
To love you as I should, I must worship God as Creator.
C. S. Lewis
A man can't be taken to hell, or sent to hell: you can only get there on your own steam.
C. S. Lewis
What flows into you from myth is not truth but reality (truth is always about something, but reality is that about which truth is), and therefore, every myth becomes the father of innumerable truths on the abstract level.
C. S. Lewis
If you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way.
C. S. Lewis
Love, in the Christian sense, does not mean an emotion. It is a state not of the feelings but of the will that state of the will which we have naturally about ourselves, and must learn to have about other people.
C. S. Lewis
I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy.
C. S. Lewis
An unliterary man may be defined as one who reads books once only.
C. S. Lewis
We have to be continually reminded of what we believe.
C. S. Lewis
When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love them.
C. S. Lewis
You must be asking which door is the true one not which pleases you best
C. S. Lewis
To make Christianity a private affair while banishing all privacy is to relegate it to the rainbow's end or the Greek Calends.
C. S. Lewis
