More quotes by C. S. Lewis
this is a book about something
C. S. Lewis
It is in the process of being worshipped that God communicates His presence to men.
C. S. Lewis
The worldly man treats certain people kindly because he 'likes' them: the Christian, trying to treat every one kindly, finds him liking more and more people as he goes on - including people he could not even have imagined himself liking at the beginning.
C. S. Lewis
Every Christian would agree that a man's spiritual health is exactly proportional to his love for God.
C. S. Lewis
God became man to turn creatures into sons: not simply to produce better men of the old kind but to produce a new kind of man. It is not like teaching a horse to jump better and better but like turning a horse into a winged creature.
C. S. Lewis
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.
C. S. Lewis
It is easy to acknowledge, but almost impossible to realize for long, that we are mirrors whose brightness, if we are bright, is wholly derived from the sun that shines upon us.
C. S. Lewis
God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way.
C. S. Lewis
The question is not what we intended ourselves to be, but what He intended us to be when He made us.
C. S. Lewis
I do not think that all who choose wrong roads perish but their rescue consists in being put back on the right road.
C. S. Lewis
I thought I could describe a state make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, however, turns out to be not a state, but a process. It needs not a map, but a history, and if I don't stop writing that history at some quite arbitrary point, there's no reason why I should ever stop.
C. S. Lewis
All men alike stand condemned, not by alien codes of ethics, but by their own, and all men therefore are conscious of guilt.
C. S. Lewis
Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.
C. S. Lewis
Lucy looked and saw that Aslan had just breathed on the feet of the stone giant. It's all right! shouted Aslan joyously. Once The feet are put right, all the rest of him will follow.
C. S. Lewis
In Charn [Jadis] had taken no notice of Polly (till the very end) because Digory was the one she wanted to make use of. Now that she had Uncle Andrew, she took no notice of Digory. I expect most witches are like that. They are not interested in things or people unless they can use them they are terribly practical.
C. S. Lewis
Bad art is never really enjoyed in the same sense in which good art is enjoyed. It is only liked: it never startles, prostrates, and takes captive.
C. S. Lewis
The distinction between pretending you are better than you are and beginning to be better in reality is finer than moral sleuth hounds conceive.
C. S. Lewis
I am a product [...of] endless books.
C. S. Lewis
God has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.
C. S. Lewis
That's the worst of girls, said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. They never can carry a map in their heads. That's because our heads have something inside them, said Lucy.
C. S. Lewis
