More quotes by C. S. Lewis
If minds are wholly dependent on brains and brains on biochemistry, and biochemistry (in the long run) on the meaningless flux of the atoms, I cannot understand how the thought of those minds should have any more significance than the sound of the wind in the trees.
C. S. Lewis
The value of myth is that it takes all the things you know and restores to them the rich significance which has been hidden by the veil of familiarity.
C. S. Lewis
No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it is opened.
C. S. Lewis
An almost perfect relationship with his father was the earthly root of all his wisdom. From his own father, he said, he first learned that Fatherhood must be at the core of the universe. [speaking of George MacDonald]
C. S. Lewis
The problem of reconciling human suffering with the existence of a God who loves, is only insoluble so long as we attach a trivial meaning to the word love.
C. S. Lewis
God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than He is of any other slacker.
C. S. Lewis
'Being in love' first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep the promise.
C. S. Lewis
It's not a question of God 'sending' us to Hell. In each of us there is something growing up which will of itself be Hell unless it is nipped in the bud.
C. S. Lewis
I'm a beast, I am, and a Badger what's more. We don't change. We hold on.
C. S. Lewis
The false religion of lust is baser than the false religion of mother-love or patriotism or art: but lust is less likely to be made into a religion.
C. S. Lewis
Much is expected from those to whom much is given.
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
The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.
C. S. Lewis
There seems to be hardly any one among my acquaintance from whom I have not learned.
C. S. Lewis
To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God.
C. S. Lewis
Even I never dreamed of Magic like this!
C. S. Lewis
You have not chosen one another, but I have chosen you for one another.
C. S. Lewis
Human beings judge one another by their external actions. God judges them by their moral choices.
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
Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.
C. S. Lewis
