More quotes by 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
If you are a Christian you do not have to believe that all the other religions are simply wrong all through. If you are an atheist you do have to believe that the main point in all the religions of the whole world is simply one huge mistake.
C. S. Lewis
I cannot understand how a man can appear in print claiming to disbelieve everything that he presupposes when he puts on the surplice. I feel it is a form of prostitution.
C. S. Lewis
At other times it feels like being mildly drunk, or concussed. There is a sort of invisible blanket between the world and me. I find it hard to take in what anyone says.
C. S. Lewis
The birth of Christ is the central event in the history of the earth-- the very thing the whole story has been about.
C. S. Lewis
The more lucidly we think, the more we are cut off: the more deeply we enter into reality, the less we can think.
C. S. Lewis
The modern idea of a Great Man is one who stands at the lonely extremity of some single line of development--
C. S. Lewis
Forgive us as we forgive- we are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it is to refuse Gods mercy for ourselves.
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
And he writhed inside at what seemed the cruelty and unfairness of the demand. He had not yet learned that if you do one good deed your reward usually is to do another and harder and better one.
C. S. Lewis
God is the food our spirits were designed to feed on.
C. S. Lewis
I was with book, as a woman is with child.
C. S. Lewis
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us.
C. S. Lewis
In Gethsemane the holiest of all petitioners prayed three times that a certain cup might pass from Him. It did not.
C. S. Lewis
The absent are easily refuted.
C. S. Lewis
Even I never dreamed of Magic like this!
C. S. Lewis
Only real risk passes the reality of faith.
C. S. Lewis
Dearest Daughter. I knew you would not be long in coming to me. Joy shall be yours.
C. S. Lewis
If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work. The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come.
C. S. Lewis
Lust is a poor, weak, whimpering, whispering thing compared with that richness and energy of desire which will arise when lust has been killed.
C. S. Lewis
