More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Sexual appetite, like any other appetite, grows by indulgence
C. S. Lewis
Our passions are not too strong, they are too weak. We are far too easily pleased.
C. S. Lewis
Morality is a mountain which we cannot climb by our own efforts and if we could we should only perish in the ice and unbreathable air of the summit, lacking those wings with which the rest of the journey has to be accomplished. For it is from there that the real ascent begins. The ropes and axes are 'done away' and the rest is a matter of flying.
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
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
And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.
C. S. Lewis
Those who have nothing can share nothing those who are going nowhere can have no fellow-travellers.
C. S. Lewis
If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all
C. S. Lewis
We do not enjoy a story fully at the first reading. Not till the curiosity, the sheer narrative lust, has been given its sop and laid asleep, are we at leisure to savour the real beauties.
C. S. Lewis
Really great moral teachers never do introduce new moralities: it is quacks and cranks who do that.
C. S. Lewis
In your life you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some that you wish you never have to think about again. But you do.
C. S. Lewis
Chastity is the most unpopular of the Christian virtues. There is no getting away from it the old Christian rule is, Either marriage, with completely faithfulness to your partner, or else total abstinence.
C. S. Lewis
What we call Man's power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.
C. S. Lewis
Man was appointed by God to have dominion over the beasts, and everything a man does to an animal is either a lawful exercise or a sacrilegious abuse of an authority by divine right.
C. S. Lewis
The human mind has no more power of inventing a new value than of planting a new sun in the sky or a new primary color in the spectrum.
C. S. Lewis
God, in the end, gives people what they most want, including freedom from himself. What could be more fair?
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
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
C. S. Lewis
I am struck here by the curious mixture of justice and injustice in our lives. We are blamed for our real faults but usually not on the right occasions.
C. S. Lewis
Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.
C. S. Lewis
