More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Because we love something else more than this world, we love even this world more than those who know no other.
C. S. Lewis
But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want they do not always like it.
C. S. Lewis
When you have reached your own room, be kind to those Who have chosen different doors and to those who are still in the hall.
C. S. Lewis
There is wishful thinking in Hell as well as on Earth.
C. S. Lewis
And yet all loneliness, angers, hatreds, envies, and itchings that it contains, if rolled into one single experience and put into the scale against the least moment of the joy that is felt by the least in Heaven, would have no weight that could be registered at all. Bad cannot succeed even in being bad as truly as good is good.
C. S. Lewis
If we only have the will to walk, then God is pleased with our stumbles.
C. S. Lewis
If these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of 'religion.'
C. S. Lewis
Reality, in fact, is always something you couldn't have guessed. That's one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It's a religion you couldn't have guessed.
C. S. Lewis
Jesus Christ did not say, 'Go into the world and tell the world that it is quite right.'
C. S. Lewis
We have had enough, once and for all, of Hedonism--the gloomy philosophy which says that Pleasure is the only good.
C. S. Lewis
For they (art and music) are not the thing itself they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.
C. S. Lewis
Giving to the poor is an essential part of Christian morality.
C. S. Lewis
Do not waste time bothering whether you love your neighbor act as if you did.
C. S. Lewis
I have seen great beauty of spirit in some who were great sufferers. I have seen men, for the most part, grow better not worse with advancing years, and I have seen the last illness produce treasures of fortitude and meekness from most unpromising subjects.
C. S. Lewis
An obligation to feel can freeze feelings.
C. S. Lewis
You all know, said the Guide, that security is mortals' greatest enemy.
C. S. Lewis
It is hardly complimentary to God that we should choose him as an alternative to hell.
C. S. Lewis
Life is too deep for words, so don't try to describe it, just live it.
C. S. Lewis
Grief ... gives life a permanently provisional feeling. It doesn't seem worth starting anything. I can't settle down. I yawn, I fidget, I smoke too much. Up till this I always had too little time. Now there is nothing but time. Almost pure time, empty successiveness.
C. S. Lewis
We can never know what might have been but what is to come is another matter entirely
C. S. Lewis
