C. S. Lewis
Image
We are...a Divine work of art, something that God is making...something with which He will not be satisfied until it has a certain character.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Image
Perfect humility dispenses with modesty.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It is natural for us to wish that God had designed for us a less glorious and less arduous destiny but then we are wishing not for more love but for less.
C. S. Lewis
Image
You cannot study Pleasure in the moment of the nuptial embrace, nor repentance while repenting, nor analyze the nature of humour while roaring with laughter.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I gave in, and admitted that God was God.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Lust is a poor, weak, whimpering, whispering thing compared with that richness and energy of desire which will arise when lust has been killed.
C. S. Lewis
Image
No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good...Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is.
C. S. Lewis
Image
History is a story written by the finger of God.
