More quotes by C. S. Lewis
We have discovered that the scheme of 'outlawing war' has made war more like an outlaw without making it less frequent and that to banish the knight does not alleviate the suffering of the peasant.
C. S. Lewis
I am in love and out of it I will not go.
C. S. Lewis
Surely arrested development consists not in refusing to lose old things but in failing to add new things.
C. S. Lewis
The purpose of all opprobrious language is, not to describe, but to hurt - even when, like Hamlet, we make only the shadow-passes of a soliloquised combat. We call the enemy not what we think he is but what we think he would least like to be called.
C. S. Lewis
Our Father refreshes us on the journey with some pleasant inns, but will not encourage us to mistake them for home.
C. S. Lewis
You people have no imagination!
C. S. Lewis
Feelings, and feelings, and feelings. Let me try thinking instead.
C. S. Lewis
Even in this world of course it is the stupidest children who are most childish and the stupidest grown-ups who are most grown-up.
C. S. Lewis
Provocation doesn't make me ill-tempered: it only shows me how ill-tempered I am.
C. S. Lewis
Lucy went first, biting her lip and trying not to say all the things she thought of saying to Susan. But she forgot them when she fixed her eyes on Aslan.
C. S. Lewis
Heaven is reality itself. All that is fully real is Heavenly. For all that can be shaken will be shaken and only the unshakeable remains.
C. S. Lewis
Got to start by finding it, have we? Can't start by looking for it, I suppose?
C. S. Lewis
Please,' she said, 'You're so beautiful. You may eat me if you like. I'd rather be eaten by you than fed by anyone else.
C. S. Lewis
If there is equality it is in His love, not in us.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others.
C. S. Lewis
Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.
C. S. Lewis
[God] will not be used as a convenience. Men or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think they can use the stairs of heaven as a shortcut to the nearest chemist's shop.
C. S. Lewis
I wish we didn't live in a world where buying and selling things seems to have become almost more important than either producing or using them.
C. S. Lewis
To live in a fully predictable world is not to be a man.
C. S. Lewis
A recovery of the old sense of sin is essential to Christianity. Christ takes it for granted that men are bad. Until we really feel this assumption of His to be true, though we are part of the world He came to save, we are not part of the audience to whom His words are addressed.
C. S. Lewis
