Image
We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God. ~ Mere Christianity, By C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis
Image
Grief ... gives life a permanently provisional feeling. It doesn't seem worth starting anything. I can't settle down. I yawn, I fidget, I smoke too much. Up till this I always had too little time. Now there is nothing but time. Almost pure time, empty successiveness.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We do not see into men’s hearts. We cannot judge, and are indeed forbidden to judge.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It seems to me that we often, almost sulkily, reject the good that God offers us because, at that moment, we expected some other good.
C. S. Lewis
Image
You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you, said the Lion.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only - and that is to support the ultimate career.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Good and evil both increase at compound interest.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Certain things, if not seen as lovely or detestable, are not being correctly seen at all.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Man's conquest of Nature, if the dreams of some scientific planners are realized, means the rule of a few hundreds of men over billions upon billions of men. There neither is nor can be any simple increase of power on Man's side. Each new power won by man is a power over man as well.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Agnostics talk cheerfully of man's search for God but they might as well talk about the mouse's search for the cat.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If you never take risks, you'll never accomplish great things. Everybody dies, but not everyone has lived.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The incalculable winds of fantasy and music and poetry, the mere face of a girl, the song of a bird, or the sight of a horizon, are always blowing evil’s whole structure away.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I have been wandering to find him and my happiness is so great that it even weakens me like a wound. And this is the marvel of marvels, that he called me Beloved, me who am but as a dog.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The Future is, of all things, the thing least like eternity. It is the most temporal part of time--for the Past is frozen and no longer flows, and the Present is all lit up with eternal rays.
C. S. Lewis
Image
You can’t get second things by putting them first. You get second things only by putting first things first.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Never exaggerate. Never say more than you really mean.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Human culture has always had to exist under the shadow of something infinitely more important than itself. If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search would never have begun.
