More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Morality is a mountain which we cannot climb by our own efforts and if we could we should only perish in the ice and unbreathable air of the summit, lacking those wings with which the rest of the journey has to be accomplished. For it is from there that the real ascent begins. The ropes and axes are 'done away' and the rest is a matter of flying.
C. S. Lewis
To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice.
C. S. Lewis
The choice of every lost soul can be expressed in the words Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven. There is always something they insist on keeping, even at the price of misery.
C. S. Lewis
Man is to be understood only in his relationship to God.
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
There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.
C. S. Lewis
If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream.
C. S. Lewis
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
C. S. Lewis
Remember He is the artist and you are the picture. You can’t see it, you can't see your true self. So quietly submit to be painted.
C. S. Lewis
Christianity thinks of human individuals not as mere members of a group or items in a list, but as organs in a body-different from one another and each contributing what no other could.
C. S. Lewis
Last year, when he had been staying with the Pevensies, he had managed to hear them all talking of Narnia and he loved teasing them about it. He thought of course that they were making it all up and as he was far too stupid to make anything up himself, he did not approve of that.
C. S. Lewis
For the church is not a human society of people united by their natural affinities but the Body of Christ, in which all members, however different, (and He rejoices in their differences and by no means wishes to iron them out) must share the common life, complementing and helping one another precisely by their differences.
C. S. Lewis
Reality is harsh to the feet of shadows. But will you come?
C. S. Lewis
Evil comes from the ABUSE of free will
C. S. Lewis
I now see that I spent most of my life in doing neither what I ought nor what I liked.
C. S. Lewis
The story itself should force its moral upon you. You find out what the moral is by writing the story.
C. S. Lewis
Something of God... flows into us from the blue of the sky, the taste of honey, the delicious embrace of water whether cold or hot, and even from sleep itself.
C. S. Lewis
The human mind has no more power of inventing a new value than of planting a new sun in the sky or a new primary color in the spectrum.
C. S. Lewis
It's so large It's the world dear, did you think it'd be small? smaller
C. S. Lewis
By repenting, one acknowledges them as sins-therefore not to be repeated.
C. S. Lewis
