More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Delight is incomplete until it is expressed.
C. S. Lewis
To love you as I should, I must worship God as Creator.
C. S. Lewis
Our passions are not too strong, they are too weak. We are far too easily pleased.
C. S. Lewis
The discomfiture we feel may be our most accurate human sensation reminding us we are not quite at home here.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing is more likely to destroy a species or a nation than a determination to survive at all costs
C. S. Lewis
The longest way round is the shortest way home
C. S. Lewis
The problem of reconciling human suffering with the existence of a God who loves, is only insoluble so long as we attach a trivial meaning to the word love.
C. S. Lewis
There comes a moment when people who have been dabbling in religion ('man's search for God'!) suddenly draw back. Supposing we really found Him? We never meant it to come to that! Worse still, supposing He had found us?
C. S. Lewis
I have been feeling very much lately that cheerful insecurity is what our Lord asks of us.
C. S. Lewis
Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.
C. S. Lewis
I think we all sin by needlessly disobeying the apostolic injunction to rejoice as much as by anything else
C. S. Lewis
Growing maturity is marked by the increasing liberties we take with our travelling... we made the discovery (some people never make it) that real books can be taken on a journey and that hours of golden reading can so be added to its other delights.
C. S. Lewis
You can't really study people you can only get to know them.
C. S. Lewis
Even I never dreamed of Magic like this!
C. S. Lewis
The promise, made when I am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as I live, commits me to being true even if I cease to be in love.
C. S. Lewis
You do not fail in obedience through lack of love, but you have lost love because you never attempted obedience.
C. S. Lewis
And I say also this. I do not think the forest would be so bright, nor the water so warm, nor love so sweet, if there were no danger in the lakes.
C. S. Lewis
if anyone present wishes to make me the subject of his wit, I am very much at his service--with my sword--whenever he has leisure.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot go on 'explaining away' for ever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it.
C. S. Lewis
You can begin as if nothing had ever gone wrong. White as snow.
C. S. Lewis
