More quotes by 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
Necessity may not be the opposite of freedom, and perhaps a man is most free when, instead of producing motives, he could only say, I am what I do.
C. S. Lewis
Love, having become a god, becomes a demon.
C. S. Lewis
The value of myth is that it takes all the things you know and restores to them the rich significance which has been hidden by the veil of familiarity.
C. S. Lewis
It's always winter but it's never Christmas.
C. S. Lewis
Even the best Christian that ever lived is not acting on his own steam--he is only nourishing or protecting a life he could never have acquired by his own efforts.
C. S. Lewis
That thing is Freedom: the gift whereby ye most resemble your Maker and are yourselves part of eternal reality.
C. S. Lewis
It is better to forget about yourself altogether.
C. S. Lewis
I could well believe that it is God's intention, since we have refused milder remedies, to compel [Christians] into unity, by persecution even. Satan is without doubt nothing else than a hammer in the hand of a benevolent and severe God.
C. S. Lewis
They have chosen cunning instead of belief. Their prison is only in their minds, yet they are in that prison and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out.
C. S. Lewis
Human intellect is incurably abstract.
C. S. Lewis
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
When all the suns and nebulae have passed away, each one of you will still be alive.
C. S. Lewis
Disobedience to conscience makes conscience blind.
C. S. Lewis
It's like the sound of a chuckle in the darkness. The sense that some shattering and disarming simplicity is the real answer.
C. S. Lewis
A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading.
C. S. Lewis
Welcome, Prince, said Aslan. Do you feel yourself sufficient to take up the Kingship of Narnia? I - I don't think I do, Sir, said Caspian. I'm only a kid. Good, said Aslan. If you had felt yourself sufficient, it would have been a proof that you were not.
C. S. Lewis
I think God wants us to love Him more, not to love others less.
C. S. Lewis
Human beings, all over the earth, have this curious idea that they ought to believe in a certain way, and can't really get rid of it.
C. S. Lewis
If people knew how much ill-feeling unselfishness occasions, it would not be so often recommended from the pulpit.
C. S. Lewis
