Text Quotes
The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in (C S Lewis Quotes)
One of the things that distinguishes man from the other animals is that he wants to know things, wants to find out what reality is like, simply for the sake of knowing. When that desire is completely quenched in anyone, I think he has become something less than human (C S Lewis Quotes)
We are told that Christ was killed for us, that His death has washed out our sins, and that by dying He disabled death itself. That is the formula. That is Christianity. That is what has to be believed (C S Lewis Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The only way to drive out bad culture is to create good culture. We need to recognize that artistic talent is a gift from the Lord - and that developing those talents is the only way to create good culture (C S Lewis Quotes)
If you ask why we should obey God, in the last resort the answer is, ‘I am.’ To know God is to know that our obedience is due to Him (C S Lewis Quotes)
To excuse what can really produce good excuses is not Christian charity; it is only fairness. To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable in you (C S Lewis Quotes)
Holiness is irresistible. If even 10% of the world’s population had it the whole world would be converted and happy before the year’s end (C S Lewis Quotes)
There is no good trying to be more spiritual than God. God never meant man to purely spiritual creature. That is why He uses material things like bread and wine to put the new life into us. We may think this rather crude and unspiritual. God does not: He invented eating. He likes matter. He invented it (C S Lewis Quotes)
We were made to be neither cerebral men nor visceral men, but Men. Not beasts nor angels but Men - things at once rational and animal (C S Lewis Quotes)
There is nothing indulgent about the Moral Law. It is as hard as nails. If God is like the Moral Law, then He is not soft (C S Lewis Quotes)
Never, in peace or war, commit your virtue or your happiness to the future. Happy work is best done by the man who takes his long-term plans somewhat lightly and works from moment to moment ‘as to the Lord.’ It is only our daily bread that we are encouraged to ask for. The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received (C S Lewis Quotes)
I am suffering incessant temptations to uncharitable thoughts at present; one of those black moods in which nearly all one’s friends seem to be selfish or even false. And how terrible that there should be even a kind of pleasure in thinking evil (C S Lewis Quotes)
For the past twenty years you and I have been fed all day long on good solid lies about sex (C S Lewis Quotes)
A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said wouldn’t be a great moral teacher. He’d be either a lunatic on a level with a man who says he’s a poached egg or else he’d be the devil of hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse (C S Lewis Quotes)
Continue seeking God with seriousness. Unless He wanted you, you would not be wanting Him (C S Lewis Quotes)
Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle (C S Lewis Quotes)
When we see the face of God we shall know that we have always known it. He has been a party to, has made, sustained and moved moment by moment within, all our earthly experiences of innocent love (C S Lewis Quotes)
Growing maturity is marked by the increasing liberties we take with our travelling... we made the discovery (some people never make it) that real books can be taken on a journey and that hours of golden reading can so be added to its other delights (C S Lewis Quotes)
Good and evil increase at compound interest. That’s why the little decisions we make every day are of infinite importance (C S Lewis Quotes)
To be ignorant and simple now-not to be able to meet the enemies on their own ground-would be to throw down our weapons and to betray our uneducated brethren who have, under God, no defense but us against the intellectual attacks of the heathen. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered (C S Lewis Quotes)
Your real, new self (which is Christ’s and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him (C S Lewis Quotes)
It’s not a question of God ‘sending’ us to Hell. In each of us there is something growing up which will of itself be Hell unless it is nipped in the bud (C S Lewis Quotes)
To the Ancients, Friendship seemed the happiest and most fully human of all loves... The modern world in comparison, ignores it (C S Lewis Quotes)
God loves us NOT because we’re lovable, because He is love. Not because He needs to receive, because He delights to give (C S Lewis Quotes)
If Christianity was something we were making up, of course we could make it easier. But it is not (C S Lewis Quotes)
We are finite and God will not call us everywhere or to support every worthy cause. And real needs are not far from us (C S Lewis Quotes)
Through pride the devil became the devil. Pride leads to every vice, it’s the complete anti-God state of mind (C S Lewis Quotes)
The full acting out of the self’s surrender to God therefore demands pain: this action, to be perfect, must be done from the pure will to obey, in the absence, or in the teeth, of inclination (C S Lewis Quotes)
Look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in (C S Lewis Quotes)
