More quotes by C. S. Lewis
A man can't be always defending the truth there must be a time to feed on it.
C. S. Lewis
It is only our bad temper that we put down to being tired or worried or hungry we put our good temper down to ourselves.
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
we follow One who stood and wept at the grave of Lazarus-not surely, because He was grieved that Mary and Martha wept, and sorrowed for their lack of faith (though some thus interpret) but because death, the punishment of sin, is even more horrible in his eyes than in ours.
C. S. Lewis
The point is that for our ancestors, the universe was a picture for modern physics it is a story.
C. S. Lewis
We were made not primarily that we may love God, but that God may love us.
C. S. Lewis
Our experience is coloured through and through by books and plays and the cinema, and it takes patience and skill to disentangle the things we have really learned from life for ourselves.
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
We only learn to behave ourselves in the presence of God.
C. S. Lewis
The greatest evils in the world will not be carried out by men with guns, but by men in suits sitting behind desks
C. S. Lewis
And she never could remember and ever since that day what Lucy means by a good story is a story which reminds her of the forgotten story in the Magician's Book.
C. S. Lewis
As Venus within Eros does not really aim at pleasure, so Eros does not aim at happiness. We may think he does, but when he is brought to the test it proves otherwise... For it is the very mark of Eros that when he is in us we had rather share unhappiness with the Beloved than be happy on any other terms.
C. S. Lewis
If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
C. S. Lewis
What do people mean when they say, 'I am not afraid of God because I know He is good'? Have they never even been to a dentist?
C. S. Lewis
As for wrinkles--Pshaw! Why shouldn't we have wrinkles? Honorable insignia of long service in this warfare.
C. S. Lewis
Last year, when he had been staying with the Pevensies, he had managed to hear them all talking of Narnia and he loved teasing them about it. He thought of course that they were making it all up and as he was far too stupid to make anything up himself, he did not approve of that.
C. S. Lewis
The claim to equality, outside of the strictly political field, is made only by those who feel themselves to be in some way inferior.
C. S. Lewis
When I'm older I'll understand said Lucy, I am older and I don't think I want to understand, replied Edmund
C. S. Lewis
The very lack of evidence is thus treated as evidence the absence of smoke proves that the fire is very carefully hidden...A belief in invisible cats cannot be logically disproved although it does tell us a good deal about those who hold it.
C. S. Lewis
Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.
C. S. Lewis
