More quotes by C. S. Lewis
I have swallowed up girls and boys, women and men, kings and emperors, cities and realms, said the Lion. It didn't say this as if it were boasting, nor as if it were sorry, nor as if it were angry. It just said it.
C. S. Lewis
The value given to the testimony of any feeling must depend on our whole philosophy, not our whole philosophy on a feeling.
C. S. Lewis
When you go to church you are really listening-in to the secret wireless from out friends: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going. He does it by playing on our conceit and laziness and intellectual snobbery.
C. S. Lewis
Most people spend most of their lives doing neither what they want to be doing nor what they ought to be doing.
C. S. Lewis
A man can't be taken to hell, or sent to hell: you can only get there on your own steam.
C. S. Lewis
It is in some ways more troublesome to track and swat an evasive wasp than to shoot, at close range, a wild elephant. But the elephant is more troublesome if you miss.

C. S. Lewis
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.
C. S. Lewis
A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is alright. This is common sense really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not well you are sleeping.
C. S. Lewis
The sane would do no good if they made themselves mad to help madmen.
C. S. Lewis
The worst of sleeping out of doors is that you wake up so dreadfully early. And when you wake up you have to get up because the ground is so hard you are uncomfortable. And it makes matters worse if there is nothing but apples for breakfast and you have had nothing but apples for supper the night before.
C. S. Lewis
And in that far distant day when the gods become wholly beautiful, or we at last are shown how beautiful they always were, this will happen more and more. For mortals, as you said, will become more and more jealous. And mother and wife and child and friend will all be in league to keep a soul from being united with the Divine Nature.
C. S. Lewis
Your book bill ought to be your biggest extravagance.
C. S. Lewis
The modern idea of a Great Man is one who stands at the lonely extremity of some single line of development--
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
