More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Because God created the Natural - invented it out of His love and artistry - it demands our reverence.
C. S. Lewis
Anger is the fluid love bleeds when cut.
C. S. Lewis
Perfect humility dispenses with modesty.
C. S. Lewis
I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise, it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.
C. S. Lewis
All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing is more likely to destroy a species or a nation than a determination to survive at all costs
C. S. Lewis
God is not an optional extra, He's an absolute must!
C. S. Lewis
I mean, the more a man was in the Devil's power, the less he would be aware of it, on the principle that a man is still fairly sober as long as he knows he's drunk.
C. S. Lewis
I see people, as they approach me, trying to make up their minds whether they'll 'say something about it' or not. I hate if they do, and if they don't.
C. S. Lewis
The castle of Cair Paravel on its little hill towered up above them before them were the sands, with rocks and little pools of salt water, and seaweed, and the smell of the sea and long miles of bluish-green waves breaking for ever and ever on the beach. And oh, the cry of the seagulls! Have you ever heard it? Can you remember?
C. S. Lewis
The whole difficulty of understanding Hell is that the thing to be understood is so nearly nothing.
C. S. Lewis
God is the only comfort, He is also the supreme terror: the thing we most need and the thing we most want to hide from.
C. S. Lewis
A man is never so proud as when striking an attitude of humility.
C. S. Lewis
You can't get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.
C. S. Lewis
The false religion of lust is baser than the false religion of mother-love or patriotism or art: but lust is less likely to be made into a religion.
C. S. Lewis
A man who has been in another world does not come back unchanged. One can't put the difference into words. When the man is a friend it may become painful: the old footing is not easy to recover.
C. S. Lewis
To live in a fully predictable world is not to be a man.
C. S. Lewis
Laziness means more work in the long run.
C. S. Lewis
The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility rather it proves the offender's inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for every one else the proper pleasure of ritual.
C. S. Lewis
To enter heaven is to become more human than you ever succeeded in being on earth to enter hell is to be banished from humanity. What is cast (or casts itself) into hell is not a man: it is 'remains.'
C. S. Lewis
