More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Fine feelings, new insights, greater interest in ʿreligionʾ mean nothing unless they make our actual behavior better.
C. S. Lewis
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very' otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
C. S. Lewis
Once the feet are put right, all the rest of him will follow.
C. S. Lewis
Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
C. S. Lewis
Reason is the natural order of truth but imagination is the organ of meaning.
C. S. Lewis
It is only when you are asked to believe in Reason coming from non-reason that you must cry Halt. Human minds. They do not come from nowhere.
C. S. Lewis
All Hell is smaller than one pebble of your earthly world but it is smaller than one atom of this world, the Real World.
C. S. Lewis
God will look to every soul like its first love because He is its first love.
C. S. Lewis
She stepped out from among their shifting confusion of lovely lights and shadows. A circle of grass, smooth as a lawn, met her eyes, with dark trees dancing all around it. And then --Oh Joy! For he was there: the huge Lion, shining white in the moonlight, with his huge black shadow underneath him.
C. S. Lewis
Human culture has always had to exist under the shadow of something infinitely more important than itself. If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search would never have begun.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others.
C. S. Lewis
The basic proposal of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be 'undemocratic.
C. S. Lewis
Further up and further in!
C. S. Lewis
What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by Christians on other subjects--with their Christianity latent.
C. S. Lewis
To every man, in his acquaintance with a new art, there comes a moment when that which before was meaningless first lifts, as it were, one corner of the curtain that hides its mystery, and reveals, in a burst of delight which later and fuller understanding can hardly ever equal, one glimpse of the indefinite possibilities within.
C. S. Lewis
A great many of those who 'debunk' traditional...values have in the background values of their own which they believe to be immune from the debunking process
C. S. Lewis
I believe that many who find that nothing happens when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.
C. S. Lewis
Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?
C. S. Lewis
The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation.
C. S. Lewis
Unless Christianity is wholly false, the perception of ourselves which we have in moments of shame must be the only true one.
C. S. Lewis
