C. S. Lewis
Disobedience to conscience makes conscience blind.
C. S. Lewis
The prayer preceding all prayers is 'May it be the real I who speaks. May it be the real Thou that I speak to.'
C. S. Lewis
I believe Buddhism to be a simplification of Hinduism and Islam to be a simplification of Xianity.
C. S. Lewis
If we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is a wandering to find home, why should we not look forward to the arrival?
C. S. Lewis
You cannot love a fellow creature fully till you love God.
C. S. Lewis
“Who are you?” One who has waited long for you to speak.
C. S. Lewis
First be sure that you know exactly what you want to say. Then be sure you have said exactly that.
C. S. Lewis
Love as distinct from being in love is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit.
C. S. Lewis
Total war is the most humane in the long run.
C. S. Lewis
