More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The Christians are right: it is Pride which has been the chief cause of misery in every nation and every family since the world began.
C. S. Lewis
One road leads home and a thousand roads lead into the wilderness.
C. S. Lewis
A spoiled saint, a Pharisee, an inquisitor, or a magician, makes better sport to Hell than a mere common tyrant or debauchee.
C. S. Lewis
I hope I do not offend God by making my Communions in the frame of mind I have been describing. The command, after all, was Take, eat: not Take, understand.
C. S. Lewis
Would it not be better to be dead than to have this horrible fear that Aslan has come and is not like the Aslan we have believed in and longed for? It is as if the sun rose one day and were a black sun.
C. S. Lewis
A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest. He also said: No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally - and often far more - worth reading at the age of 50 and beyond.
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
Think of me as a fellow patient in the same hospital who, having been admitted a little earlier could give some advice.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is born at that moment when a single particular person claims to a different: 'What! You far too? I assumed I was the only real one particular.
C. S. Lewis
Good and evil both increase at compound interest.
C. S. Lewis
Things never happen the same way twice.
C. S. Lewis
In God you come up against something which is in every respect immeasurably superior to yourself. Unless you know God as that-and, therefore, know yourself as nothing in comparison-you do not know God at all.
C. S. Lewis
The promise, made when I am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as I live, commits me to being true even if I cease to be in love.
C. S. Lewis
The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.
C. S. Lewis
Death and resurrection are what the story is about and had we but eyes to see it, this has been hinted on every page, met us, in some disguise, at every turn, and even been muttered in conversations between such minor characters (if they are minor characters) as the vegetables.
C. S. Lewis
I have often repented of speech but hardly ever of silence.
C. S. Lewis
I want God, not my idea of God.
C. S. Lewis
When once a man is launched on such an adventure as this, he must bid farewell to hopes and fears, otherwise death or deliverance will both come too late to save his honor and his reason. Ho, my beauties!
C. S. Lewis
I prefer being honest to being 'honest to God.'
C. S. Lewis
Though we cannot experience our life as an endless present, we are eternal in God's eyes that is, in our deepest reality.
C. S. Lewis
