C. S. Lewis
Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life. If I had to give a piece of advice to a young man about a place to live, I think I should say, 'sacrifice almost everything to live where you can be near your friends.'
C. S. Lewis
you had nothing to say about it and yet made the nothing up into words.
C. S. Lewis
I dread specialists in power because they are specialists speaking outside of their special subject.
C. S. Lewis
Affection would not be affection if it was loudly and frequently expressed to produce it in public is like getting your household furniture out for a move. It did very well in its place, but it looks shabby or tawdry or grotesque in the sunshine.
C. S. Lewis
War creates no absolutely new situation: it simply aggravates the permanent human situation so that we can no longer ignore it. Human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice.
C. S. Lewis
The incalculable winds of fantasy and music and poetry, the mere face of a girl, the song of a bird, or the sight of a horizon, are always blowing evil’s whole structure away.
C. S. Lewis
Each time you fall He'll pick you up. He knows your own efforts are never going to bring you anywhere near perfection
