“The bolt of Tash falls from above!' 'Does it ever get caught on a hook halfway?”

C.S. Lewis

“He liked books if they were books of information and had pictures of grain elevators or of fat foreign children doing exercises in model schools.”

C.S. Lewis

“Aren't all these notes the senseless writings of a man who won't accept the fact that there is nothing we can do with suffering except to suffer it?”

C.S. Lewis

“The man who is contented to be only himself, and therefore less a self, is in prison. My own eyes are not enough for me, I will see through those of others. Reality, even seen through the eyes of many, is not enough. I will see what others have invented. Even the eyes of all humanity are not enough. I regret that the brutes connot write books. Very gladly would I learn what face things present to a mouse or a bee; more gladly still would I perceive the olfactory world charged with all the information and emotion it carries for a dog. Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality... in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad of eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.”

C.S. Lewis

“Never use abstract nouns when concrete ones will do. If you mean “More people died” don’t say “Mortality rose.”

C.S. Lewis

“He cannot "tempt" to virtue as we do to vice. He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand; and if only the will to walk is really there He is pleased even with their stumbles.”

C.S. Lewis

“The choice of every lost soul can be expressed in the words "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.”

C.S. Lewis

“The world does not consist of 100 percent Christians and 100 percent non-Christians. There are people (a great many of them) who are slowly ceasing to be Christians but who still call themselves by that name: some of them are clergymen. There are other people who are slowly becoming Christians though they do not yet call themselves so. ”

C.S. Lewis

“Love, in its own nature, demands the perfecting of the beloved.”

C.S. Lewis

“Whatever you do, He will make good of it. But not the good He had prepared for you if you had obeyed him.”

C.S. Lewis

“Child,' said the Lion, 'I am telling you your story, not hers. No one is told any story but their own.”

C.S. Lewis

“Thomas Aquinas said of suffering, as Aristotle had said of shame, that it was a thing not good in itself; but a thing which might have a certain goodness in particular circumstances. That is to say, if evil is present, pain at recognition of the evil, being a kind of knowledge, is relatively good.”

C.S. Lewis

“Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.”

C.S. Lewis

“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.”

C.S. Lewis

“I desired dragons with a profound desire.”

C.S. Lewis
