“A perfect man would never act from a sense of duty; he’d always want the right thing more than the wrong one. Duty is only a substitute for love (of God and of other people) like a crutch which is a substitute for a leg. Most of us need the crutch at times; but of course it is idiotic to use the crutch when our own legs (our own loves, tastes, habits etc.) can do the journey on their own.”

C.S. Lewis

“I seemed to hear God saying, "Put down your gun and we'll talk.”

“In great literature, I become a thousand different men but still remain myself.”

C.S. Lewis

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

C.S. Lewis

“And she never could remember; and ever since that day what Lucy means by a good story is a story which reminds her of the forgotten story in the Magician's Book.”

C.S. Lewis

“We read to know we are not alone.”

C.S. Lewis

“Q. What is your view of the daily discipline of the Christian life - the need for taking time to be alone with God? Lewis: "We have our New Testament regimental orders upon the subject. I would take it for granted that everyone who becomes a Christian would undertake this practice. It is enjoined upon us by Our Lord; and since they are his commands, I believe in following them. It is always just possible that Jesus Christ meant what he said when He told us to seek the secret place and to close the door.”

C.S. Lewis

“Well,' said Ransom, 'if it is a delusion, it's a pretty stubborn one.”

C.S. Lewis

“Only a real risk tests the reality of a belief.”

C.S. Lewis

“There is no neutral ground in the universe. Every square inch, every split second is claimed by God, and counterclaimed by Satan.”

C.S. Lewis

“But 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 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

“For jokes as well as justice come in with speech. - Aslan, The Magician's Nephew”

C.S. Lewis

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

C.S. Lewis

“A woman's heart should be so close to God that a man should have to chase Him to find her.”

C.S. Lewis

“I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the horses the new strength of fear for the last mill so that you should reach King Lune in time. 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
