More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The universe rings true whenever you fairly test it.
C. S. Lewis
When He [God] talks of their losing their selves, He means only abandoning the clamour of self-will once they have done that, He really gives them back all their personality, and boasts (I am afraid, sincerely) that when they are wholly His they will be more themselves than ever.
C. S. Lewis
The human mind has no more power of inventing a new value than of planting a new sun in the sky or a new primary color in the spectrum.
C. S. Lewis
I have come, said a deep voice behind them. They turned and saw the Lion himself, so bright and real and strong that everything else began at once to look pale and shadowy compared with him.
C. S. Lewis
The longer we stay in Hell, the more we become attached to it.
C. S. Lewis
Much is expected from those to whom much is given.
C. S. Lewis
He cannot tempt to virtue as we do to vice. He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand and if only the will to walk is really there He is pleased even with their stumbles.
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
It is in the process of being worshipped that God communicates His presence to men.
C. S. Lewis
Imagine yourself as a living house.
C. S. Lewis
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
Art can teach without at all ceasing to be art.
C. S. Lewis
I believe, to be sure, that any man who reaches Heaven will find that what he abandoned (even in plucking out his right eye) has not been lost: that the kernel of what he was really seeking even in his most depraved wishes will be there, beyond expectation, waiting for him in 'the High Countries'.
C. S. Lewis
Well,' said Ransom, 'if it is a delusion, it's a pretty stubborn one.
C. S. Lewis
We must learn by experience to avoid either trains of thought or social situations which for us (not necessarily for everyone) lead to temptations. Like motoring-don't wait till the last moment before you put on the brakes but put them on, gently and quietly, while the danger is still a good way off.
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
The only thing one can usually change in one's situation is oneself. And yet one can't change that either-only ask Our Lord to do so.
C. S. Lewis
I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise, it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.
C. S. Lewis
What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by Christians on other subjects--with their Christianity latent.
C. S. Lewis
Some people write heavily, some write lightly. I prefer the light approach because I believe there is a great deal of false reverence about. There is too much solemnity and intensity in dealing with sacred matters too much speaking in holy tones.
C. S. Lewis
