More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Those who would like the God of scripture to be more purely ethical, do not know what they ask.
C. S. Lewis
Would it not be better to be dead than to have this horrible fear that Aslan has come and is not like the Aslan we have believed in and longed for? It is as if the sun rose one day and were a black sun.
C. S. Lewis
Because we love something else more than this world, we love even this world more than those who know no other.
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
For He (God) seems to do nothing of himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures.
C. S. Lewis
If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness. And it appears, from all the records, that though He has often rebuked us and condemned us, He has never regarded us with contempt. He has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.
C. S. Lewis
You die and die and then you are beyond death.
C. S. Lewis
To the Ancients, Friendship seemed the happiest and most fully human of all loves... The modern world in comparison, ignores it.
C. S. Lewis
To love is to be vulnerable.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot study Pleasure in the moment of the nuptial embrace, nor repentance while repenting, nor analyze the nature of humour while roaring with laughter.
C. S. Lewis
As for wrinkles--Pshaw! Why shouldn't we have wrinkles? Honorable insignia of long service in this warfare.
C. S. Lewis
The desire for bad art is the desire bred of habit: like the smoker's desire for tobacco, more marked by the extreme malaise of denial than by any very strong delight in fruition.
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
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
this is a book about something
C. S. Lewis
Man is to be understood only in his relationship to God.
C. S. Lewis
Mere change is not growth. Growth is the synthesis of change and continuity, and where there is no continuity there is no growth.
C. S. Lewis
As long as you are proud, you cannot know God.
C. S. Lewis
Emerson said, Do you love me? means Do you see the same truth?-Or at least, Do you care about the same truth?
C. S. Lewis
You don’t think – not possibly – not as a mere hundredth chance – there might be things that are real though we can’t see them? … If there are souls, could there not be soul-houses?
C. S. Lewis
