Hell
More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The worst of sleeping out of doors is that you wake up so dreadfully early. And when you wake up you have to get up because the ground is so hard you are uncomfortable. And it makes matters worse if there is nothing but apples for breakfast and you have had nothing but apples for supper the night before.
C. S. Lewis
When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
C. S. Lewis
Ink is the great cure for all human ills.
C. S. Lewis
Father! Can I box him? Please!
C. S. Lewis
Laziness means more work in the long run.
C. S. Lewis
You can't really study people you can only get to know them.
C. S. Lewis
Hell is a state of mind -- ye never said a truer word. And every state of mind, left to itself, every shutting up of the creature within the dungeon of its own mind -- is, in the end, Hell. But Heaven is not a state of mind. Heaven is reality itself. All that is fully real is Heavenly.
C. S. Lewis
I read in a periodical the other day that the fundamental thing is how we think of God. By God Himself, it is not! How God thinks of us is not only more important, but infinitely more important.
C. S. Lewis
I have seen landscapes . . . which, under a particular light, make me feel that at any moment a giant might raise his head over the next ridge.
C. S. Lewis
There is hope for a man who has never read Malory or Boswell or Tristam Shandy or Shakespeare's Sonnets: but what can you do with a man who says he has read them, meaning he has read them once, and thinks that this settles the matter?
C. S. Lewis
Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.
C. S. Lewis
God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than of any other slackers. If you are thinking of becoming a Christian, I warn you you are embarking on something which is going to take the whole of you, brains and all.
C. S. Lewis
He who has God and everything else has no more than he who has God only.
C. S. Lewis
You must be asking which door is the true one not which pleases you best
C. S. Lewis
Every Christian would agree that a man's spiritual health is exactly proportional to his love for God.
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
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.
C. S. Lewis
If God had granted all the silly prayers I've made in my life, where should I be now?
C. S. Lewis
And he writhed inside at what seemed the cruelty and unfairness of the demand. He had not yet learned that if you do one good deed your reward usually is to do another and harder and better one.
C. S. Lewis
In silence and in meditation on the eternal truths, I hear the voice of God which excites our hearts to greater love.
C. S. Lewis
