More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Once a man is united to God, how could he not live forever?
C. S. Lewis
I never exactly made a book. It's rather like taking dictation. I was given things to say.
C. S. Lewis
The whole difficulty of understanding Hell is that the thing to be understood is so nearly nothing.
C. S. Lewis
Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man.
C. S. Lewis
Pity was meant to be a spur that drives joy to help misery. But it can be used the wrong way round. It can be used for a kind of blackmailing. Those who choose misery can hold joy up to ransom, by pity.
C. S. Lewis
I will not be at the mercy of the telephone!
C. S. Lewis
You never know what you can do until you try, and very few try unless they have to.
C. S. Lewis
The Eternal Being, who knows everything and who created the whole universe, became not only a man but (before that) a baby, and before that a fetus in a woman's body.
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
In worship, God imparts himself to us.
C. S. Lewis
It is hardly complimentary to God that we should choose him as an alternative to hell.
C. S. Lewis
No emotion is, in itself, a judgement in that sense all emotions and sentiments are alogical. but they can be reasonable or unreasonable as they conform to Reason or fail to conform. 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
The most dangerous ideas in a society are not the ones being argued, but the ones that are assumed.
C. S. Lewis
They Open A Door And Enter A World
C. S. Lewis
All your life an unattainable ecstasy has hovered just beyond the grasp of your consciousness. The day is coming when you will wake to find, beyond all hope, that you have attained it, or else, that it was within your reach and you have lost it forever.
C. S. Lewis
For He (God) seems to do nothing of himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures.
C. S. Lewis
The real Oxford is a close corporation of jolly, untidy, lazy, good-for-nothing humorous old men, who have been electing their own successors ever since the world began and who intend to go on with it. They'll squeeze under the Revolution or leap over it when the time comes, don't you worry.
C. S. Lewis
In your world, I have another name. You should know me by it.
C. S. Lewis
Forgive us as we forgive- we are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it is to refuse Gods mercy for ourselves.
C. S. Lewis
