“Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .” 

C.S. Lewis

“I was driven to Whipsnade one sunny morning. When we set out I did not believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, and when we reached the zoo I did. Yet I had not exactly spent the journey in thought. Nor in great emotion. “Emotional” is perhaps the last word we can apply to some of the most important events. It was more like when a man, after a long sleep, still lying motionless in bed, becomes aware that he is now awake.”

C.S. Lewis

“All is summed up in the prayer which a young female human is said to have uttered recently: "O God, make me a normal twentieth-century girl!" Thanks to our labors, this will mean increasingly: "Make me a minx, a moron, and a parasite.”

C.S. Lewis

“If you love deeply, you're going to get hurt badly. But it's still worth it.”

C.S. Lewis

“He always knew that my temple was a house of cards. His only way of making me realize the fact was to knock it down.”

C.S. Lewis

“Love may, indeed, love the beloved when her beauty is lost: but not because it is lost. Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal. Love is more sensitive than hatred itself to every blemish in the beloved… Of all powers he forgives most, but he condones least: he is pleased with little, but demands all.”

C.S. Lewis

“For jokes as well as justice come in with speech. - Aslan, The Magician's Nephew”

C.S. Lewis

“The great difficulty is to get modern audiences to realize that you are preaching Christianity solely and simply because you happen to think it true; they always suppose you are preaching it because you like it or think it good for society or something of that sort. Now a clearly maintained distinction between what the Faith actually says and what you would like it to have said or what you understand or what you personally find helpful or think probable, forces your audience to realize that you are tied to your data just as the scientist is tied by the results of the experiments; that you are not just saying what you like. This immediately helps them realize that what is being discussed is a question about objective fact — not gas about ideals and points of view.”

C.S. Lewis

“His education had been neither scientific nor classical—merely “Modern.” The severities both of abstraction and of high human tradition had passed him by: and he had neither peasant shrewdness nor aristocratic honour to help him. He was a man of straw, a glib examinee in subjects that require no exact knowledge (he had always done well on Essays and General Papers) and the first hint of a real threat to his bodily life knocked him sprawling.”

C.S. Lewis

“I don't want to hold you hand!”

C.S. Lewis

“You can make anything by writing.”

C.S. Lewis

“I was with book, as a woman is with child.”

C.S. Lewis

“Peter, High King of Narnia," said Aslan. "Shut the Door.”

C.S. Lewis

“Love is the great conqueror of lust.”

C.S. Lewis

“Well, sir, if things are real, they’re there all the time." "Are they?" said the Professor; and Peter did not quite know what to say.”
