“Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself”

C.S. Lewis

“The very power of [textbook writers] depends on the fact that they are dealing with a boy: a boy who thinks he is ‘doing’ his ‘English prep’ and has no notion that ethics, theology, and politics are all at stake. It is not a theory they put into his mind, but an assumption, which ten years hence, its origin forgotten and its presence unconscious, will condition him to take one side in a controversy which he has never recognized as a controversy at all.”

C.S. Lewis

“Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.”

C.S. Lewis

ought me here, and I'd better have been drowned or never born. Do you hear what I say? This is where dreams — dreams, do you understand — come to life, come real. Not daydreams: dreams.”

C.S. Lewis

“An 'impersonal God'-well and good. A subjective God of beauty, truth and goodness, inside our own heads-better still. A formless life-force surging through us, a vast power which we can tap-best of all. But God himself, alive, pulling at the other end of the cord, perhaps approaching at an infinite speed, the hunter, King, husband-that is quite another matter.”

C.S. Lewis

“And grief still feels like fear. Perhaps, more strictly, like suspense. Or like waiting; just hanging about waiting for something to happen. It gives life a permanently provisional feeling. It doesn't seem worth starting anything. I can't settle down. I yawn, fidget, I smoke too much. Up till this I always had too little time. Now there is nothing but time. Almost pure time, empty successiveness.”

C.S. Lewis

“It is when we notice the dirt that God is most present in us; it is the very sign of His presence.”

C.S. Lewis

“Prostitutes are in no danger of finding their present life so satisfactory that they cannot turn to God: the proud, the avaricious, the self-righteous, are in that danger.”

C.S. Lewis

“A thing may be morally neutral and yet the desire for that thing may be dangerous.”

C.S. Lewis

“Human beings, all over the earth, have this curious idea that they ought to believe in a certain way, and can't really get rid of it.”

C.S. Lewis

“Poetry most often communicates emotions, not directly, but by creating imaginatively the grounds for those emotions. It therefore communicates something more than the emotion; only by means of that something more does it communicate the emotion at all.”

C.S. Lewis

“You are never too old to set another goal, or to dream a new dream.”

C.S. Lewis

“Got to start by finding it, have we? Can't start by looking for it, I suppose?”

C.S. Lewis

“The sin both of men and of angels, was rendered possible by the fact that God gave us free will.”

C.S. Lewis

“All joy... emphasizes our pilgrim status; always reminds, beckons, awakens desire. Our best havings are wantings.”

C.S. Lewis
