Will the others see you too? asked Lucy. Certainly not at first, said Aslan. Later on, it depends. But they won’t believe me! said Lucy. It doesn’t matter.
C. S. Lewis
If we ignore it the truth that God is love may slyly come to mean for us the converse, that love is God.
C. S. Lewis
Well,' said Ransom, 'if it is a delusion, it's a pretty stubborn one.
C. S. Lewis
That is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporal sufferring, No future bliss can make up for it not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory.
C. S. Lewis
Meaningless combinations of words do not suddenly acquire meaning simply because we prefix to them the two other words ' God can'.
C. S. Lewis
It would be nice and fairly nearly true, to say that 'from that time forth, Eustace was a different boy.' To be strictly accurate, he began to be a different boy. He had relapses. There were still many days when he could be very tiresome. But most of those I shall not notice. The cure had begun.
C. S. Lewis
God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than He is of any other slacker.
C. S. Lewis
I have at last come to the end of the Faerie Queene: and though I say at last, I almost wish he had lived to write six books more as he had hoped to do — so much have I enjoyed it.
C. S. Lewis
There is nothing indulgent about the Moral Law. It is as hard as nails. If God is like the Moral Law, then He is not soft.
C. S. Lewis
Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?
C. S. Lewis
Excess of love, did ye say? There was no excess, there was defect. She loved her son too little, not too much. If she had loved him more there'd be no difficulty.
C. S. Lewis
If you simply try to tell the truth you will, nine times out of ten, be original without ever having noticed it.
C. S. Lewis
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place [if we anticipate and look for it, rather than wallow in our 'supposed loss'. It can be helpful to think of the loss of that blessing as simply necessary to make way for another different blessing].
C. S. Lewis
Giving to the poor is an essential part of Christian morality.
C. S. Lewis
Selfishness has never been admired.
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
If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work. The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come.
C. S. Lewis
But suppose you struggle through to the good and find that it also is dreadful? How if food itself turns out to be the very thing you can't eat, and home the very place you can't live, and your very comforter the person who makes you uncomfortable? Then, indeed, there is no rescue possible: the last card has been played.
C. S. Lewis
Total war is the most humane in the long run.
C. S. Lewis
The true Christian's nostril is to be continually attentive to the inner cesspool.
