More quotes by C. S. Lewis
This world is a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.
C. S. Lewis
I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.
C. S. Lewis
Odd, the way the less the Bible is read the more it is translated
C. S. Lewis
I was wondering — I mean — could there be some mistake? Because nobody called me and Scrubb, you know. It was we who asked to come here. You would not have called me unless I had been calling you.
C. S. Lewis
Pain is G-d's megaphone to wake up the world.
C. S. Lewis
We have had enough, once and for all, of Hedonism--the gloomy philosophy which says that Pleasure is the only good.
C. S. Lewis
There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than the doctrine of hell, if it lay in my power. But it has the support of Scripture and, especially, of our Lord's own words it has always been held by the Christian Church, and it has the support of reason.
C. S. Lewis
The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.
C. S. Lewis
The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in.
C. S. Lewis
In the same way a Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble--because the Christ-life is inside him, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repeat (in some degree) the kind of voluntary death which Christ Himself carried out. - Mere Christianity
C. S. Lewis
I need Christ, not something that resembles Him.
C. S. Lewis
That fierce imprisonment in the self is but the obverse of the self-giving which is absolute reality.
C. S. Lewis
Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.
C. S. Lewis
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
C. S. Lewis
In silence and in meditation on the eternal truths, I hear the voice of God which excites our hearts to greater love.
C. S. Lewis
We come to Scripture not to learn a subject but to steep ourselves in a person.
C. S. Lewis
Put first things first and we get second things thrown in: put second things first & we lose both first and second things.
C. S. Lewis
Love is the great conqueror of lust.
C. S. Lewis
If one is only to talk from first-hand experience, conversation would be a very poor business.
C. S. Lewis
A noble hunger, long unsatisfied, met at last its proper food.
