More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Morality is a mountain which we cannot climb by our own efforts and if we could we should only perish in the ice and unbreathable air of the summit, lacking those wings with which the rest of the journey has to be accomplished.

C. S. Lewis
Joy is the serious business of heaven.
C. S. Lewis
I think God wants us to love Him more, not to love others less.
C. S. Lewis
It's always winter but it's never Christmas.
C. S. Lewis
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.
C. S. Lewis
The real trouble about the duty of forgiveness is that you do it with all your might on Monday and then find on Wednesday that it hasn't stayed put and all has to be done over again.
C. S. Lewis
In our own case we accept excuses too easily in other people's, we do not accept them easily enough.
C. S. Lewis
But in general, take my advice, when you meet anything that is going to be Human and isn’t yet, or used to be Human once and isn’t now, or ought to be Human and isn’t, you keep your eyes on it and feel for your hatchet.
C. S. Lewis
It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
