More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The mark of Friendship is not that help will be given when the pinch comes (of course it will) but that, having been given, it makes no difference at all.
C. S. Lewis
Yes, pride is a perpetual nagging temptation. Keep on knocking it on the head, but don't be too worried about it. As long as one knows one is proud, one is safe from the worst form of pride.
C. S. Lewis
The natural life in each of us is something self-centred, something that wants to be petted and admired, to take advantage of other lives, to exploit the whole universe.
C. S. Lewis
No man who values originality will ever be original. But try to tell the truth as you see it, try to do any bit of work as well as it can be done for the work's sake, and what men call originality will come unsought.
C. S. Lewis
Either Jesus is the Son of God or a madman or worse. But His being just a great teacher? He's not left that open to us.
C. S. Lewis
The doctrine of the Second Coming teaches us that we do not and cannot know when the world drama will end. The curtain may be rung down at any moment: say, before you have finished reading this paragraph.
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
When you argue against Him you are arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all: it is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on.
C. S. Lewis
Reality, looked at steadily, is unbearable.
C. S. Lewis
Reality is harsh to the feet of shadows. But will you come?
C. S. Lewis
if anyone present wishes to make me the subject of his wit, I am very much at his service--with my sword--whenever he has leisure.
C. S. Lewis
The purpose of all opprobrious language is, not to describe, but to hurt - even when, like Hamlet, we make only the shadow-passes of a soliloquised combat. We call the enemy not what we think he is but what we think he would least like to be called.
C. S. Lewis
I dread specialists in power because they are specialists speaking outside of their special subject.
C. S. Lewis
Those who cannot conceive of Friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a Friend.
C. S. Lewis
But do you really mean, Sir, said Peter, that there could be other worlds-all over the place, just round the corner-like that? Nothing is more probable, said the Profesor, taking off his spectacles and beginning to polish them, while he muttered to himself, I wonder what they do teach them at these schools.
C. S. Lewis
Good people know about both good and evil: bad people do not know about either.
C. S. Lewis
In the science, Evolution is a theory about changes in the myth it is a fact about improvements.
C. S. Lewis
God is the food our spirits were designed to feed on.
C. S. Lewis
Those who are enjoying something, or suffering something, together, are companions. Those who enjoy or suffer one another, are not.
C. S. Lewis
I think we all sin by needlessly disobeying the apostolic injunction to rejoice as much as by anything else
C. S. Lewis
