More quotes by C. S. Lewis
I gave in, and admitted that God was God.
C. S. Lewis
That fierce imprisonment in the self is but the obverse of the self-giving which is absolute reality.
C. S. Lewis
If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness.
C. S. Lewis
Enemy occupied territory is what the world is.
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 read in a periodical the other day that the fundamental thing is how we think of God. By God Himself, it is not! How God thinks of us is not only more important, but infinitely more important.
C. S. Lewis
A spoiled saint, a Pharisee, an inquisitor, or a magician, makes better sport to Hell than a mere common tyrant or debauchee.
C. S. Lewis
Wherever any precept of traditional morality is simply challenged to produce its credentials, as though the burden of proof lay on it, we have taken the wrong position.
C. S. Lewis
Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.
C. S. Lewis
Youth and age touch only the surface of our lives.
C. S. Lewis
Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.
C. S. Lewis
We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness. We need others physically, emotionally, and intellectually. We need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves.
C. S. Lewis
It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
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 whole difficulty of understanding Hell is that the thing to be understood is so nearly nothing.
C. S. Lewis
A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading.
C. S. Lewis
You weren't a decent man and you didn't do your best. We none of us were and none of us did.
C. S. Lewis
I mean, the more a man was in the Devil's power, the less he would be aware of it, on the principle that a man is still fairly sober as long as he knows he's drunk.
C. S. Lewis
When you are not feeling particularly friendly but know you ought to be, the best thing you can do, very often, is to put on a friendly manner and behave as if you were a nicer person than you actually are. And in a few minutes, as we have all noticed, you will be really feeling friendlier than you were.
C. S. Lewis
We have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin.
C. S. Lewis
