More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Our experience is coloured through and through by books and plays and the cinema, and it takes patience and skill to disentangle the things we have really learned from life for ourselves.
C. S. Lewis
A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.
C. S. Lewis
But suppose you struggle through to the good and find that it also is dreadful? How if food itself turns out to be the very thing you can't eat, and home the very place you can't live, and your very comforter the person who makes you uncomfortable? Then, indeed, there is no rescue possible: the last card has been played.
C. S. Lewis
Atheists express their rage against God although in their view He does not exist.
C. S. Lewis
One always feel better when one has made up one's mind.
C. S. Lewis
A society where the simple many obey the few seers can live a society where all were seers could live even more fully. But a society where the mass is still simple and the seers are no longer attended to can achieve only superficiality, baseness, ugliness, and in the end extinction. On or back we must go: to stay here is death.
C. S. Lewis
It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
C. S. Lewis
Hell begins with a grumbling mood, always complaining, always blaming others.
C. S. Lewis
If God were a Kantian, who would not have us till we came to Him from the purest and best motives, who could be saved?
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
No great wisdom can be reached without sacrifice.
C. S. Lewis
There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.
C. S. Lewis
when pain is to be born, a little courage helps more than much knowledge, a little human sympathy more than much courage, and the least tincture of the love of God more than all.
C. S. Lewis
Tribulations cannot cease until God either sees us remade or sees that our remaking is now hopeless.
C. S. Lewis
I never exactly made a book. It's rather like taking dictation. I was given things to say.
C. S. Lewis
With my mother's death all settled happiness, all that was tranquil and reliable, disappeared from my life. There was to be much fun, many pleasures, many stabs of Joy but no more of the old security. It was sea and islands now the great continent had sunk like Atlantis.
C. S. Lewis
Humanity does not pass through phases as a train passes through stations: being alive, it has the privilege of always moving yet never leaving anything behind. Whatever we have been, in some sort we are still.
C. S. Lewis
What one must not do is to rule out the supernatural as the one impossible explanation.
C. S. Lewis
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'
C. S. Lewis
For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted.
C. S. Lewis
