“They say, 'The coward dies many times'; so does the beloved. Didn't the eagle find a fresh liver to tear in Prometheus every time it dined?”

C.S. Lewis

“I need Christ, not something that resembles Him.”

C.S. Lewis

“I remember Christian teachers telling me long ago that I must hate a bad man's actions but not hate the bad man: or, as they would say, hate the sin but not the sinner. ...I used to think this a silly, straw-splitting distinction: how could you hate what a man did and not hate the man? But years later it occurred to me that there was one man to whom I had been doing this all my life -- namely myself. However much I might dislike my own cowardice or conceit or greed, I went on loving myself. There had never been the slightest difficulty about it. In fact the very reason why I hated the things was that I loved the man. Just because I loved myself, I was sorry to find that I was the sort of man who did those things.”

C.S. Lewis

“He that but looketh on a plate of ham and eggs to lust after it hath already committed breakfast with it in his heart”

C.S. Lewis

“The distinction between pretending you are better than you are and beginning to be better in reality is finer than moral sleuth hounds conceive.”

C.S. Lewis

“If you look upon ham and eggs and lust, you have already committed breakfast in your heart.”

C.S. Lewis

“you had nothing to say about it and yet made the nothing up into words.”

C.S. Lewis

“If we insist on keeping Hell (or even earth) we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell.”

C.S. Lewis

“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

“Extraordinary things only happen to extraordinary people. Maybe it's a sign that you've got an extraordinary destiny--something greater than you could've imagined.”

C.S. Lewis

“Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone. ”

C.S. Lewis

“Things always work according to their nature.”

C.S. Lewis

“I haven't any language weak enough to depict the weakness of my spiritual life. If I weakened it enough it would cease to be language at all. As when you try to turn the gas-ring a little lower still, and it merely goes out.”

C.S. Lewis

“And how could we endure to live and let time pass if we were always crying for one day or one year to come back--if we did not know that every day in a life fills the whole life with expectation and memory and that these are that day?”

C.S. Lewis

“Has not one of the poets said that a noble friend is the best gift and a noble enemy the next best?”

C.S. Lewis
