At the very least, they can be persuaded that the bodily position makes no difference to their prayers for they constantly forget[...]that they are animals and that whatever their bodies do affects their souls.

More quotes by C. S. Lewis
We must lay before him what is in us not what ought to be in us.
C. S. Lewis
To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice.
C. S. Lewis
If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.
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
The return from the walk, and the arrival of tea, should be exactly coincident, and not later than a quarter past four.
C. S. Lewis
Our Father refreshes us on the journey with some pleasant inns, but will not encourage us to mistake them for home.
C. S. Lewis
Christianity asserts that every individual human being is going to live for ever, and this must be either true or false. Now there are a good many things which would not be worth bothering about if I were going to live only seventy years, but which I had better bother about very seriously if I am going to live for ever.
C. S. Lewis
We have not long to live in any event. Let us spend what is left in seeking the unpeopled world behind the sunrise.
C. S. Lewis
I have at last come to the end of the Faerie Queene: and though I say at last, I almost wish he had lived to write six books more as he had hoped to do — so much have I enjoyed it.
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
Crying is all right in its way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do.
C. S. Lewis
It is in some ways more troublesome to track and swat an evasive wasp than to shoot, at close range, a wild elephant. But the elephant is more troublesome if you miss.
C. S. Lewis
Be confident small immortals. You are not the only voice that all things utter, nor is there eternal silence in the places where you cannot come.
C. S. Lewis
The moment good taste knows itself, some of its goodness is lost.
C. S. Lewis
Good people know about both good and evil: bad people do not know about either.
C. S. Lewis
I prefer being honest to being 'honest to God.'
C. S. Lewis
By gum,' said Digory, 'Don't I just wish I was big enough to punch your head!
C. S. Lewis
You can't really study people you can only get to know them.
C. S. Lewis
Imagine yourself as a living house.
C. S. Lewis
A society where the simple many obey the few seers can live a society where all were seers could live even more fully. But a society where the mass is still simple and the seers are no longer attended to can achieve only superficiality, baseness, ugliness, and in the end extinction. On or back we must go: to stay here is death.
C. S. Lewis
