More quotes by C. S. Lewis
For in self-giving, if anywhere, we touch a rhythm not only of all creation but of all being.
C. S. Lewis
The event of falling in love... in one high bound it has overleaped the massive wall of our selfhood it has made appetite itself altruistic, tossed personal happiness aside as a triviality and planted the interests of another in the centre of our being.
C. S. Lewis
Authority exercised with humility, and obedience accepted with delight are the very lines along which our spirits live.
C. S. Lewis
...this new idea of cure instead of punishment, so humane in seeming, had in fact deprived the criminal of all rights and by taking away the name Punishment made the thing infinite.
C. S. Lewis
Looking for God-or Heaven-by exploring space is like reading or seeing all Shakespeare's plays in the hope that you will find Shakespeare as one of the characters.
C. S. Lewis
Heaven will display far more variety than Hell.
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
But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.
C. S. Lewis
I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that he gives us the gift of suffering. Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world. You see, we are like blocks of stone out of which the Sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of his chisel, which hurt us so much are what make us perfect.
C. S. Lewis
If my house has collapsed at one blow, that is because it was a house of cards. The faith which 'took these things into account' was not faith but imagination.
C. S. Lewis
Humour is...the all-consoling and...the all-excusing, grace of life.
C. S. Lewis
The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God. ~ Mere Christianity, By C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis
Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself
C. S. Lewis
We might think that God wanted simply obedience to a set of rules: whereas He really wants people of a particular sort.
C. S. Lewis
Faith, in the sense in which I am here using the word, is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods.
C. S. Lewis
On the whole, God’s love for us is a much safer subject to think about than our love for Him.
C. S. Lewis
The Christians are right: it is Pride which has been the chief cause of misery in every nation and every family since the world began.
C. S. Lewis
Peter did not feel very brave indeed, he felt he was going to be sick. But that made no difference to what he had to do.
C. S. Lewis
As for wrinkles--Pshaw! Why shouldn't we have wrinkles? Honorable insignia of long service in this warfare.
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
