More quotes by C. S. Lewis
...if all we mean by our love is a craving to be loved, we are in a very deplorable state.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing can seem extraordinary until you have discovered what is ordinary.
C. S. Lewis
Human intellect is incurably abstract.
C. S. Lewis
That raises a terrible question. How is it that people who are quite obviously eaten up with Pride can say they believe in God and appear to themselves very religious? I am afraid it means they are worshiping an imaginary God.
C. S. Lewis
I will not be at the mercy of the telephone!
C. S. Lewis
Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.
C. S. Lewis
If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
C. S. Lewis
The next moment is as much beyond our grasp, and as much in God's care, as that a hundred years away. Care for the next minute is as foolish as care for a day in the next thousand years. In neither can we do anything, in both God is doing everything.
C. S. Lewis
You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.
C. S. Lewis
Reason is the natural order of truth but imagination is the organ of meaning.
C. S. Lewis
But the great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not. It is not wearied by our sins, or our indifference and, therefore, it is quite relentless in its determination that we shall be cured of those sins, at whatever cost to us, at whatever cost to Him.
C. S. Lewis
No man who says, 'I'm as good as you,' believes it. He would not say it if he did.
C. S. Lewis
I hope I do not offend God by making my Communions in the frame of mind I have been describing. The command, after all, was Take, eat: not Take, understand.
C. S. Lewis
With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere.
C. S. Lewis
A real desire to believe all the good you can of others and to make others as comfortable as you can will solve most of the problems.
C. S. Lewis
I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.
C. S. Lewis
The typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, 'What? You too? I thought I was the only one!
C. S. Lewis
You die and die and then you are beyond death.
C. S. Lewis
Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honor millionaires, athletes, or film stars instead even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served deny it food and it will gobble poison.
C. S. Lewis
We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.
C. S. Lewis
