“The perfect church service would be one we were almost unaware of. Our attention would have been on God.”

C.S. Lewis

“The love of knowledge is a kind of madness.”

C.S. Lewis

“Children have one kind of silliness, as you know, and grown-ups have another kind.”

C.S. Lewis

“Perhaps your own reiterated cries deafen you to the voice you hoped to hear”

C.S. Lewis

“It is very true. But even a traitor may mend. I have known one who did.”

C.S. Lewis

“Hence the uneasiness which they arouse in those who, for whatever reason, wish to keep us wholly imprisoned in the immediate conflict. That perhaps is why people are so ready with the charge of "escape." I never fully understood it till my friend Professor Tolkien asked me the very simple question, "What class of men would you expect to be most preoccupied with, and hostile to, the idea of escape?" and gave the obvious answer: jailers.”

C.S. Lewis

“I do not know why there is this difference, but I am sure that God keeps no one waiting unless He sees that it is good for him to wait. When you do enter your room, you will find that the long wait has done you some kind of good which you would not have had otherwise. But you must regard it as waiting, not as camping. You must keep on praying for light: and of course, even in the hall, you must begin trying to obey the rules which are common to the whole house. And above all you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and paneling.”

C.S. Lewis

“and a charge of lying against someone whom you have always found truthful is a very serious thing; a very serious thing indeed.”

C.S. Lewis

“No justification of virtue will enable a man to be virtuous. Without the aid of trained emotions the intellect is powerless against the animal organism. I had sooner play cards against a man who was quite skeptical about ethics, but bred to believe that ‘a gentleman does not cheat’, than against an irreproachable moral philosopher who had been brought up among sharpers.”

C.S. Lewis

“Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment.”

C.S. Lewis

“Friend, I am not suggesting at all. You see, I know now. Let us be frank. Our opinions were not honestly come by. We simply found ourselves in contact with a certain current of ideas and plunged into it because it seemed modern and successful. At College, you know, we just started automatically writing the kind of essays that got good marks and saying the kind of things that won applause. When, in our whole lives, did we honestly face, in solitude, the one question on which all turned: whether after all the Supernatural might not in fact occur? When did we put up one moment's real resistance to the loss of our faith?”

C.S. Lewis

“Who are you?' One who has waited long for you to speak.”

C.S. Lewis

“Edmund, give a special goodbye to Trumpkin for me. He's been a brick.”

C.S. Lewis

“we follow One who stood and wept at the grave of Lazarus-not surely, because He was grieved that Mary and Martha wept, and sorrowed for their lack of faith (though some thus interpret) but because death, the punishment of sin, is even more horrible in his eyes than in ours.”

C.S. Lewis

“And I was the Lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.”

C.S. Lewis
