More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Many thousands of people have had the experience of finding the first friend, and it is none the less a wonder as great a wonder (pace the novelists) as first love, or even greater.
C. S. Lewis
God has infinite attention to spare for each one of us.
C. S. Lewis
Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.
C. S. Lewis
The Scotch catechism says that man's chief end is 'to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.' But we shall then know that these are the same thing. Fully to enjoy is to glorify. In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.
C. S. Lewis
The incalculable winds of fantasy and music and poetry, the mere face of a girl, the song of a bird, or the sight of a horizon, are always blowing evil’s whole structure away.
C. S. Lewis
...the sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal, or two friends talking over a pint of beer, or a man alone reading a book that interests him... - C.S. Lewis: Weight of Glory
C. S. Lewis
Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.
C. S. Lewis
Because God created the Natural - invented it out of His love and artistry - it demands our reverence.
C. S. Lewis
I thought I could describe a state make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, however, turns out to be not a state, but a process. It needs not a map, but a history, and if I don't stop writing that history at some quite arbitrary point, there's no reason why I should ever stop.
C. S. Lewis
No thanks, said Digory, I don't know that I care much about living on and on after everyone I know is dead. I'd rather live an ordinary time and die and go to Heaven.
C. S. Lewis
The point is that for our ancestors, the universe was a picture for modern physics it is a story.
C. S. Lewis
The assumption that things which have been conjured in the past will always be conjured in the guiding principle not of rational but of animal behavior.
C. S. Lewis
Isn't it absolutely essential to keep a fierce Left and fierce Right, both on their toes and each terrified of the other? That's how we get things done.
C. S. Lewis
Look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in
C. S. Lewis
Though no one would want to be sold as a slave, it is perhaps even more galling to be a sort of utility slave whom no one will buy.
C. S. Lewis
Aristotle said that some people were only fit to be slaves. I do not contradict him. But I reject slavery because I see no men fit to be masters.
C. S. Lewis
I am in love and out of it I will not go.
C. S. Lewis
Very few modern people think Friendship a love of comparable value or even a love at all.
C. S. Lewis
There is a kind of happiness and wonder that makes you serious. It is too good to waste on jokes.
C. S. Lewis
Beauty is not democratic she reveals herself more to the few than to the many.
C. S. Lewis
