More quotes by C. S. Lewis
If, as I can't help suspecting, the dead also feel the pains of separation (and this may be one of their purgatorial sufferings), then for both lovers, and for all pairs of lovers without exception, bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love.
C. S. Lewis
Every good book should be entertaining. A good book will be more it must not be less. Entertainment…is like a qualifying examination. If a fiction can’t provide that, we may be excused from inquiring into its higher qualities.
C. S. Lewis
Evil can be undone, but it cannot 'develop' into good. Time does not heal it. The spell must be unwound, bit by bit, 'with backward mutters of dissevering power' - or else not.
C. S. Lewis
The stamp of the Saint is that he can waive his own rights and obey the Lord Jesus.
C. S. Lewis
God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains.
C. S. Lewis
Puddleglum's my name. But it doesn't matter if you forget it. I can always tell you again.
C. S. Lewis
In the truest sense, Christian pilgrims have the best of both worlds. We have joy whenever this world reminds us of the next, and we take solace whenever it does not.
C. S. Lewis
We have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life.
C. S. Lewis
Evil comes from the ABUSE of free will
C. S. Lewis
You can’t get second things by putting them first. You get second things only by putting first things first.
C. S. Lewis
Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.
C. S. Lewis
If you thirst you may drink.
C. S. Lewis
It takes all sorts to make a world or a church. This may be even truer of a church. If grace perfects nature it must expand all our natures into the full richness of the diversity which God intended when He made them, and Heaven will display far more variety than Hell.
C. S. Lewis
Many things, such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly - are done worst when we try hardest to do them.
C. S. Lewis
In your life you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some that you wish you never have to think about again. But you do.
C. S. Lewis
If my house has collapsed at one blow, that is because it was a house of cards. The faith which 'took these things into account' was not faith but imagination.
C. S. Lewis
I will not be at the mercy of the telephone!
C. S. Lewis
Wouldn't it be dreadful if some day in our own world, at home, men start going wild inside, like the animals here, and still look like men, so that you'd never know which were which.
C. S. Lewis
The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility rather it proves the offender's inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for every one else the proper pleasure of ritual.
C. S. Lewis
