“That raises a terrible question. How is it that people who are quite obviously eaten up with Pride can say they believe in God and appear to themselves very religious? I am afraid it means they are worshiping an imaginary God.”

C.S. Lewis

“Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine admirably.”

C.S. Lewis

“That's the worst of girls," said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. "They never can carry a map in their heads." "That's because our heads have something inside them," said Lucy.”

C.S. Lewis

“The typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, 'What? You too? I thought I was the only one!”

C.S. Lewis

“If we consider the unblushing promises of reward … promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

C.S. Lewis

“Aslan's instructions always work; there are no exceptions.”

C.S. Lewis

“Praise is the mode of love which always has some element of joy in it.”

C.S. Lewis

“Emerson said, Do you love me? means Do you see the same truth?-Or at least, "Do you care about the same truth?”

C.S. Lewis

“We can never know what might have been but what is to come is another matter entirely”

C.S. Lewis

“A great deal of democratic enthusiasm descends from the ideas of people like Rousseau, who believed in democracy because they thought mankind so wise and good that everyone deserved a share in the government. The danger of defending democracy on those grounds is that they’re not true. . . I find that they’re not true without looking further than myself. I don’t deserve a share in governing a hen-roost, much less a nation. The real reason for democracy is: Mankind is so fallen that no man can be trusted with unchecked power over his fellows. Aristotle said that some people were only fit to be slaves. I do not contradict him. But I reject slavery because I see no men fit to be masters.”

C.S. Lewis

“If the world is meaningless, then so are we; if we mean something, we do not mean alone.”

C.S. Lewis

“We call a cancer bad, they would say, because it kills a man; but you might just as well call a successful surgeon bad because he kills a cancer.”

C.S. Lewis

“It is in some ways more troublesome to track and swat an evasive wasp than to shoot, at close range, a wild elephant. But the elephant is more troublesome if you miss.”

C.S. Lewis

“I was not born to be free---I was born to adore and obey.”

C.S. Lewis

“I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.”
