More quotes by 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
Isn't it absolutely essential to keep a fierce Left and fierce Right, both on their toes and each terrified of the other? That's how we get things done.
C. S. Lewis
I have seen landscapes . . . which, under a particular light, make me feel that at any moment a giant might raise his head over the next ridge.
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
Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different.
C. S. Lewis
It doesn't really matter whether you grip the arms of the dentist's chair or let your hands lie in your lap. The drill drills on.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Good and evil both increase at compound interest.
C. S. Lewis
Joy is the serious business of heaven. Our merriment must be between people who take each other seriously.
C. S. Lewis
Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it.
C. S. Lewis
If one is only to talk from first-hand experience, conversation would be a very poor business.
C. S. Lewis
Child, to say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you really mean that's the whole art and joy of words.
C. S. Lewis
They Open A Door And Enter A World
C. S. Lewis
One can regard the moral law as an illusion, and so cut himself off from the common ground of humanity.
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
Everything except God has some natural superior everything except unformed matter has some natural inferior.
C. S. Lewis
The more often he feels without acting, the less he will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel.
C. S. Lewis
Hail Lord, ...Loose my chains.
C. S. Lewis
Whenever we find that our religious life is making us feel that we are good - above all, that we are better than someone else - I think we may be sure that we are being acted on, not by God, but by the devil.
C. S. Lewis
The proper good of a creature is to surrender itself to its Creator—to enact intellectually, volitionally, and emotionally, that relationship which is given in the mere fact of its being a creature. When it does so, it is good and happy.
C. S. Lewis
