More quotes by C. S. Lewis
I read in a periodical the other day that the fundamental thing is how we think of God. By God Himself, it is not! How God thinks of us is not only more important, but infinitely more important.
C. S. Lewis
The longer we stay in Hell, the more we become attached to it.
C. S. Lewis
God has infinite attention to spare for each one of us.
C. S. Lewis
Atheists express their rage against God although in their view He does not exist.
C. S. Lewis
Catch {a man} at the moment when he is really poor in spirit and smuggle into his mind the gratifying reflection, By jove, I'm being humble, and almost immediately pride - pride at his own humility - will appear.
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 devil loves 'curing' a small fault by giving you a great one.
C. S. Lewis
A Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent.
C. S. Lewis
Evil comes from the ABUSE of free will
C. S. Lewis
We treat our dogs as if they were almost human: that is why they really become almost human in the end.
C. S. Lewis
And so take away his work, which was his life [. . .] and all his glory and his great deeds? Make a child and a dotard of him? Keep him to myself at that cost? Make him so mine that he was no longer his?
C. S. Lewis
I have discovered that the people who believe most strongly in the next life do the most good in the present one.
C. S. Lewis
'Useful,' and 'necessity' was always 'the tyrant's plea'.
C. S. Lewis
When things go wrong, you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.
C. S. Lewis
We were made not primarily that we may love God, but that God may love us.
C. S. Lewis
We cannot fully understand the relations of time and choice until we are beyond both.
C. S. Lewis
Every Christian would agree that a man's spiritual health is exactly proportional to his love for God.
C. S. Lewis
It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It's not the sort of comfort they supply there.
C. S. Lewis
I came alive when I started loving you.
C. S. Lewis
First be sure that you know exactly what you want to say. Then be sure you have said exactly that.
C. S. Lewis
