“The rule of the universe is that others can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves, and one can paddle every canoe except one's own. ”

C.S. Lewis

“You've no idea how good an old joke sounds when you take it out again after a rest of five or six hundred years.”

C.S. Lewis

“It is my opinion that a story worth reading only in childhood is not worth reading even then.”

C.S. Lewis

“Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith. I don't agree at all. They are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the Passion of Christ”

C.S. Lewis

“Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things - trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one.”

C.S. Lewis

“But what manner of use would it be ploughing through that darkness?' asked Drinian. Use?' replied Reepicheep. 'Use, Captain?' If you mean by filling our bellies or our purses, I confess it will be no use at all. So far as I know we did not set sail to look for things useful but to seek honour and adventures. And here is as great an adventure as I have ever heard of, and here, if we turn back, no little impeachment of all our honours.”

C.S. Lewis

“People who know a lot of the same things can hardly help talking about them.”

C.S. Lewis

“He thinks great folly, child,' said Aslan. "This world is bursting with life for these few days because the song with which I called it into life still hangs in the air and rumbles in the ground. It will not be so for long. But I cannot tell that to this old sinner, and I cannot comfort him either; he has made himself unable to hear my voice. If I spoke to him, he would hear only growlings and roarings. Oh, Adam's son, how cleverly you defend yourself against all that might do you good!”

C.S. Lewis

Pooh! Grown-ups are always thinking of uninteresting explanations.”

C.S. Lewis

“If there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they're either braver than most, or else just silly.”

C.S. Lewis

“We must meet children as equals in that area of our nature where we are their equals...The child as reader is neither to be patronized nor idolized: we talk to him as man to man.”

C.S. Lewis

“The great thing to remember is that though our feelings come and go God's love for us does not.” 

C.S. Lewis

“One of the drawbacks about adventures is that when you come to the most beautiful places you are often too anxious and hurried to appreciate them.”

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

“Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.” 

C.S. Lewis
