More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him.
C. S. Lewis
I believe that many who find that nothing happens when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.
C. S. Lewis
Odd, the way the less the Bible is read the more it is translated
C. S. Lewis
Alas, said Aslan, shaking his head. It will. Things always work according to their nature. She has won her heart's desire she has unwearying strength and endless days like a goddess. But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want they do not always like it.
C. S. Lewis
It is only when you are asked to believe in Reason coming from non-reason that you must cry Halt. Human minds. They do not come from nowhere.
C. S. Lewis
Put first things first and we get second things thrown in: put second things first & we lose both first and second things.
C. S. Lewis
Above all else , the devil can not stand to be mocked.
C. S. Lewis
Every object you see before you at this moment -the walls, ceiling, and furniture, the book, your own washed hands and cut fingernails, bears witness to the colonization of Nature of Reason.
C. S. Lewis
God is not merely good, but goodness goodness is not merely divine, but God.
C. S. Lewis
Got to start by finding it, have we? Can't start by looking for it, I suppose?
C. S. Lewis
I wish they would remember that the charge to Peter was Feed my sheep, not Try experiments on my rats, or even Teach my performing dogs new tricks.
C. S. Lewis
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.
C. S. Lewis
Of course all children's literature is not fantastic, so all fantastic books need not be children's books. It is still possible, even in an age so ferociously anti-romantic as our own, to write fantastic stories for adults: though you will usually need to have made a name in some more fashionable kind of literature before anyone will publish them.
C. S. Lewis
There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.... Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses. If he is your Christian neighbor he is holy in almost the same way, for in him also Christ verse latitat - the glorifier and the glorified, Glory Himself, is truly hidden.
C. S. Lewis
Aren't all these notes the senseless writings of a man who won't accept the fact that there is nothing we can do with suffering except to suffer it?
C. S. Lewis
But the most obvious fact about praise — whether of God or anything — strangely escaped me. I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor. I had never noticed that all enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise unless (sometimes even if) shyness or the fear of boring others is deliberately brought in to check it.
C. S. Lewis
It is a very funny thing that the sleepier you are, the longer you take about getting to bed.
C. S. Lewis
Love, in its own nature, demands the perfecting of the beloved.
C. S. Lewis
The whole difficulty of understanding Hell is that the thing to be understood is so nearly nothing.
C. S. Lewis
We have had enough, once and for all, of Hedonism--the gloomy philosophy which says that Pleasure is the only good.
C. S. Lewis
