Text Quotes
Most people, if they had really learned to look into their own hearts, would know that they do want, and want acutely, something that cannot be had in this world. There are all sorts of things in this world that offer to give it to you, but they never quite keep their promise (C S Lewis Quotes)
Human culture has always had to exist under the shadow of something infinitely more important than itself. If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search would never have begun (C S Lewis Quotes)
Anyone who is honestly trying to be a Christian will soon find his intelligence being sharpened: one of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a Christian is that Christianity is an education itself. That is why an uneducated believer like Bunyan was able to write a book that has astonished the whole world (C S Lewis Quotes)
Forgive us as we forgive- we are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it is to refuse Gods mercy for ourselves (C S Lewis Quotes)
If you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way (C S Lewis Quotes)
Children are not deceived by fairy-tales; they are often and gravely deceived by school-stories. Adults are not deceived by science-fiction ; they can be deceived by the stories in the women’s magazines (C S Lewis Quotes)
If you have once accepted Christianity, then some of its main doctrines shall be deliberately held before your mind for some time every day. That is why daily prayers and religious reading and churchgoing are necessary parts of the Christian life. We have to be continually reminded of what we believe. Neither this belief nor any other will automatically remain alive in the mind. It must be fed (C S Lewis Quotes)
I don’t pray so that I can change God. I pray so that God can change me (C S Lewis Quotes)
I pray because I can’t help myself. I pray because I’m helpless. It doesn’t change God - it changes me (C S Lewis Quotes)
Ideally, we should like to define a good book as one which ‘permits, invites, or compels’ good reading (C S Lewis Quotes)
As long as you notice, and have to count the steps, you are not yet dancing but only learning to dance. A good shoe is a shoe you don’t notice. Good reading becomes possible when you need not conciously think about eyes, or light, or print, or spelling. The perfect church service would be the one we were almost unaware of; our attention would have been on God (C S Lewis Quotes)
Looking for God-or Heaven-by exploring space is like reading or seeing all Shakespeare’s plays in the hope that you will find Shakespeare as one of the characters (C S Lewis Quotes)
Afflictions are... if we can so take them, our share in the Passion of Christ (C S Lewis Quotes)
We must beware of the Past, mustn’t we? I mean that any fixing of the mind on old evils beyond what is absolutely necessary for repenting our own sins and forgiving those of others is certainly useless and usually bad for us. Notice in Dante that the lost souls are entirely concerned with their past! Not so the saved (C S Lewis Quotes)
I care far more how humanity lives than how long. Progress, for me, means increasing goodness and happiness of individual lives. For the species, as for each man, mere longevity seems to me a contemptible ideal (C S Lewis Quotes)
The question about progress has become the question whether we can discover any way of submitting to the worldwide paternalism of a technocracy without losing all personal privacy and independence. Is there any possibility of getting the super Welfare State’s honey and avoiding the sting? (C S Lewis Quotes)
It is the magician’s bargain: give up our soul, get power in return. But once our souls, that is, ourselves, have been given up, the power thus conferred will not belong to us. We shall in fact be the slaves and puppets of that to which we have given our souls (C S Lewis Quotes)
There are two kinds of love: we love wise and kind and beautiful people because we need them, but we love (or try to love) stupid and disagreeable people because they need us. This second kind is the more divine because that is how God loves us: not because we are lovable but because He is love, not because He needs to receive but He delights to give (C S Lewis Quotes)
The first thing to get clear about Christian morality between man and man is that in this department Christ did not come to teach any brand new morality. The Golden Rule of the New Testament (Do as you would be done by) is a summing up of what everyone, at bottom, had always known to be right (C S Lewis Quotes)
For the Christian, there are, strictly speaking, no chances. A secret Master of the Ceremonies has been at work (C S Lewis Quotes)
The only thing one can usually change in one’s situation is oneself. And yet one can’t change that either-only ask Our Lord to do so (C S Lewis Quotes)
There is someone I accept even though I do not approve of all he does...and that someone is me (C S Lewis Quotes)
If you never take risks, you’ll never accomplish great things. Everybody dies, but not everyone has lived (C S Lewis Quotes)
Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success (C S Lewis Quotes)
You can’t go against the grain of the universe and not expect to get splinters (C S Lewis Quotes)
Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different... (C S Lewis Quotes)
By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets. (C S Lewis Quotes)
How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been: how gloriously different are the saints. (C S Lewis Quotes)
There is one bit of advice given us by the ancient Greeks, and by the Jews in the Old Testament, and by the great Christian teachers of the Middle Ages, which the modern economic system has completely disobeyed. All these people told us not to lend money at interest; and lending money at interest - what we call investment - is the basis of our whole system. (C S Lewis Quotes)
Her face was working and twitching with passion, but his looked up at the sky, still quiet, neither angry nor afraid, but a little sad. (C S Lewis Quotes)
