More quotes by C. S. Lewis
But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want they do not always like it.
C. S. Lewis
What flows into you from myth is not truth but reality (truth is always about something, but reality is that about which truth is), and therefore, every myth becomes the father of innumerable truths on the abstract level.
C. S. Lewis
In order that we finite beings may apprehend the Emporer He translates His glory into multiple forms - into stars, woods, waters, beasts, and the bodies of men.
C. S. Lewis
Dearest Daughter. I knew you would not be long in coming to me. Joy shall be yours.
C. S. Lewis
Anger is the fluid love bleeds when cut.
C. S. Lewis
Those who do not think about their own sins make up for it by thinking incessantly about the sins of others.
C. S. Lewis
We only learn to behave ourselves in the presence of God.
C. S. Lewis
I was not born to be free---I was born to adore and obey.
C. S. Lewis
I dread specialists in power because they are specialists speaking outside of their special subject.
C. S. Lewis
Education is only the most fully conscious of the channels whereby each generation influences the next.
C. S. Lewis
They have chosen cunning instead of belief. Their prison is only in their minds, yet they are in that prison and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out.
C. S. Lewis
Whenever a person dwells chiefly, or even frequently, on the faults of other people's religions, he is in a bad condition.
C. S. Lewis
When golden moments come, when God enables one really to pray without words, who but a fool would reject the gift?
C. S. Lewis
What can you ever really know of other people's souls — of their temptations, their opportunities, their struggles? One soul in the whole of creation you do know: and it is the only one whose fate is placed in your hands. If there is a God, you are, in a sense, alone with Him.
C. S. Lewis
He cannot tempt to virtue as we do to vice. He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand and if only the will to walk is really there He is pleased even with their stumbles.
C. S. Lewis
It's always winter but it's never Christmas.
C. S. Lewis
The longest way round is the shortest way home
C. S. Lewis
A great deal of what is being published by writers in the religious tradition is a scandal and is actually turning people away from the church. The liberal writers who are continually accommodating and whittling down the truth of the Gospel are responsible.
C. S. Lewis
Actually it seems to me that one can hardly say anything either bad enough or good enough about life.
C. S. Lewis
It may well be that by trickery of priests men have sometimes taken a mortal's voice for a god's. But it will not work the other way. No one who hears a god's voice takes it for a man's.
C. S. Lewis
