More quotes by C. S. Lewis
It seems to me that we often, almost sulkily, reject the good that God offers us because, at that moment, we expected some other good.
C. S. Lewis
Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?
C. S. Lewis
Slowly, quietly, like snow-flakes—like the small flakes that come when it is going to snow all night —little flakes of me, my impressions, my selections, are settling down on the image of her. The real shape wil be quite hidden in the end.
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
I mean, the more a man was in the Devil's power, the less he would be aware of it, on the principle that a man is still fairly sober as long as he knows he's drunk.
C. S. Lewis
Ink is the great cure for all human ills.
C. S. Lewis
We are...a Divine work of art, something that God is making...something with which He will not be satisfied until it has a certain character.
C. S. Lewis
It is wonderful what you can do when you have to.
C. S. Lewis
If and when a horror turns up you will then be given Grace to help you. I don't think one is usually given it in advance. Give us our daily bread (not an annuity for life) applies to spiritual gifts too the little daily support for the daily trial. Life has to be taken day by day and hour by hour.
C. S. Lewis
After an error you need not only to remove the causes but also to correct the error itself: after a sin you must not only, if possible, remove the temptation, you must also go back and repent the sin itself. In each case an 'undoing' is required.
C. S. Lewis
If Christianity is only one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance.
C. S. Lewis
I came alive when I started loving you.
C. S. Lewis
Christian love, either towards God or towards man, is an affair of the will.
C. S. Lewis
Ideally, we should like to define a good book as one which 'permits, invites, or compels' good reading
C. S. Lewis
My son, by all means desist from kicking the venerable and enlightened Vizier: for as a costly jewel retains its value even if hidden in a dung-hill, so old age and discretion are to be respected even in the vile persons of our subjects. Desist therefore, and tell us what you desire and propose.
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
You know me better than you think, you know, and you shall know me better yet.
C. S. Lewis
He has room for people with very little sense, but He wants everyone to use what sense they have.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.
C. S. Lewis
This world is a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.
C. S. Lewis
