“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

“How could an idiotic universe have produced creatures whose mere dreams are so much stronger, better, subtler than itself?”

C.S. Lewis

“All shall be done, but it may be harder than you think.”

C.S. Lewis

“Perhaps my bad temper or my jealousy are gradually getting worse - so gradually that the increase in seventy years will not be very noticeable. But it might be absolute hell in a million years!”

C.S. Lewis

“In reading Chesterton, as in reading MacDonald, I did not know what I was letting myself in for. A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere — "Bibles laid open, millions of surprises," as Herbert says, "fine nets and stratagems." God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous.”

C.S. Lewis

“He does not despise real woods because he has read of enchanted woods; the reading makes all real woods a little enchanted.”

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

“Straight tribulation is easier to bear than tribulation which advertises itself as pleasure.”

C.S. Lewis

“And the Prince stared at her like a man out of his wits.” 

C.S. Lewis

“The worldly man treats certain people kindly because he 'likes' them: the Christian, trying to treat every one kindly, finds him liking more and more people as he goes on - including people he could not even have imagined himself liking at the beginning.”

C.S. Lewis

“Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.”

C.S. Lewis

“The sight of the huge world put mad ideas into me, as if I could wander away, wander forever, see strange and beautiful things, one after the other to the world's end.”

C.S. Lewis

“I thought I could describe a state; make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, hoever, turns out to be not a state but a process.”

C.S. Lewis

“Free will, though it makes evil possible, also makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.”

C.S. Lewis

“In the same way a Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble--because the Christ-life is inside him, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repeat (in some degree) the kind of voluntary death which Christ Himself carried out." - Mere Christianity”

C.S. Lewis
