“You don’t think – not possibly – not as a mere hundredth chance – there might be things that are real though we can’t see them? … If there are souls, could there not be soul-houses?”

C.S. Lewis

“He's wild, you know. Not like a tame lion.”

C.S. Lewis

“If you are really a product of a materialistic universe, how is it that you don't feel at home there?”

C.S. Lewis

“Do not by any means destroy yourself, for if you live you may yet have good fortune, but all the dead are dead like.”

C.S. Lewis

“The very condition of having Friends is that we should want something else besides Friends. Where the truthful answer to the question "Do you see the same truth?" would be "I see nothing and I don't care about the truth; I only want a Friend," no Friendship can arise - though Affection of course may. There would be nothing for the Friendship to be about; and Friendship must be about something, even if it were only an enthusiasm for dominoes or white mice. Those who have nothing can share nothing; those who are going nowhere can have no fellow-travellers.”

C.S. Lewis

“One must face the fact that all the talk about His  love for men, and His service being perfect freedom, is not (as one would gladly believe) mere propaganda,  but an appalling truth. He really does want to fill the universe with a lot of loathsome little replicas of  Himself—creatures, whose life, on its miniature scale, will be qualitatively like His own, not because He has absorbed them but because their wills freely conform to His. We want cattle who can finally become food;  (2) He wants servants who can finally become sons. We want to suck in, He wants to give out. We are  empty and would be filled; He is full and flows over. Our war aim is a world in which Our Father Below has  drawn all other beings into himself: the Enemy wants a world full of beings united to Him but still distinct.”

C.S. Lewis

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

C.S. Lewis

“Surely you know that if a man can't be cured of churchgoing, the next best thing is to send him all over the neighbourhood looking for the church that "suits" him until he becomes a taster or connoisseur of churches.”

C.S. Lewis

“I don't want him to live forever, and I know that he's not going to live forever whether I want him to or not.”

C.S. Lewis

“As for all I can tell, the only difference is that what many see we call a real thing, and what only one sees we call a dream.”

C.S. Lewis

“I wish I had never been born," she said. "What are we born for?" "For infinite happiness," said the Spirit. "You can step out into it at any moment...”

C.S. Lewis

“If all experienced God in the same way and returned Him an identical worship, the song of the Church triumphant would have no symphony, it would be played like an orchestra in which all instruments played the same note.”

C.S. Lewis

“You cannot love a fellow creature fully till you love God.”

C.S. Lewis

“Yes,” said the Lord Digory. “Its inside is bigger than its outside.”

C.S. Lewis

“Oh, I'm a dangerous criminal, I am,' said the dwarf cheerfully.”

C.S. Lewis
