More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The birth of Christ is the central event in the history of the earth-- the very thing the whole story has been about.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot study Pleasure in the moment of the nuptial embrace, nor repentance while repenting, nor analyze the nature of humour while roaring with laughter.
C. S. Lewis
I hope no one who reads this book has been quite as miserable as Susan and Lucy were that night but if you have been - if you've been up all night and cried till you have no more tears left in you - you will know that there comes in the end a sort of quietness. You feel as if nothing is ever going to happen again.
C. S. Lewis
[The natural life] knows that if the spiritual life gets hold of it, all its self-centredness and self-will are going to be killed and it is ready to fight tooth and nail to avoid that.
C. S. Lewis
But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.
C. S. Lewis
The human mind is generally far more eager to praise and dispraise than to describe and define. It wants to make every distinction a distinction of value hence those fatal critics who can never point out the differing quality of two poets without putting them in an order of preference as if they were candidates for a prize.
C. S. Lewis
Dearest Daughter. I knew you would not be long in coming to me. Joy shall be yours.
C. S. Lewis
The proper good of a creature is to surrender itself to its Creator—to enact intellectually, volitionally, and emotionally, that relationship which is given in the mere fact of its being a creature. When it does so, it is good and happy.
C. S. Lewis
What you want is practice, practice, practice. It doesn’t matter what we write (at least this is my view) at our age, so long as we write continually as well as we can. I feel that every time I write a page either of prose or of verse, with real effort, even if it’s thrown into the fire the next minute, I am so much further on.
C. S. Lewis
We all agree that forgiveness is a beautiful idea until we have to practice it.
C. S. Lewis
History is a story written by the finger of God.
C. S. Lewis
Extraordinary things only happen to extraordinary people. Maybe it's a sign that you've got an extraordinary destiny--something greater than you could've imagined.
C. S. Lewis
Christianity thinks of human individuals not as mere members of a group or items in a list, but as organs in a body-different from one another and each contributing what no other could.
C. S. Lewis
Before we can be cured, we must want to be cured.
C. S. Lewis
The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is the hand over your whole self--all your wishes and precautions--to Christ.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship arises out of mere Companionship when two or more of the companions discover that they have in common some insight or interest or even taste which the others do not share and which, till that moment, each believed to be his own unique treasure (or burden).
C. S. Lewis
A myth is a lie that conveys a truth.
C. S. Lewis
Joy is the serious business of heaven. Our merriment must be between people who take each other seriously.
C. S. Lewis
Have fun, even if it’s not the same kind of fun everyone else is having.
C. S. Lewis
Without the aid of trained emotions the intellect is powerless against the animal organism.
C. S. Lewis
