    C.S. Lewis


  • C.S. Lewis
    "Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself."
    C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity)


  • C.S. Lewis

    "I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia."

    "God can't give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing."
    C.S. Lewis


  • C.S. Lewis
    "It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased."
    C.S. Lewis (Weight of Glory and Other Addresses)


  • C.S. Lewis
    "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."
    C.S. Lewis


  • C.S. Lewis
    "I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."
    C.S. Lewis


  • C.S. Lewis
    "Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed."
    C.S. Lewis (The Magician's Nephew)


  • C.S. Lewis
    "There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it."
    C.S. Lewis (The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader")


  • C.S. Lewis
    "I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time- waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God- it changes me."
    C.S. Lewis


  • C.S. Lewis
    "You can make anything by writing."
    C.S. Lewis


  • C.S. Lewis
    "It isn't Narnia, you know," sobbed Lucy. "It's you. We shan't meet you there. And how can we live, never meeting you?"
    "But you shall meet me, dear one," said Aslan.
    "Are -are you there too, Sir?" said Edmund.
    "I am," said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."
    C.S. Lewis (The Voyage of the Dawn Treader)


  • C.S. Lewis
    "Nothing is yet in its true form."

  • C.S. Lewis
    "Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone."

  • C.S. Lewis
    "I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once."
    C.S. Lewis


  • C.S. Lewis
    "One word, Ma'am," he said, coming back from the fire; limping, because of the pain. "One word. All you've been saying is quite right, I shouldn't wonder. I'm a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won't deny any of what you said. But there's one more thing to be said, even so. 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. And that's a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We're just babies making up a game, if you're right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That's why I'm going to stand by the play world. I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we're leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for Overland. Not that our lives will be very long, I should think; but that's a small loss if the world's as dull a place as you say."
    C.S. Lewis (The Silver Chair)


  • C.S. Lewis
    "What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it."
    C.S. Lewis


  • C.S. Lewis
    "He died not for men, but for each man. If each man had been the only man made, He would have done no less."
    C.S. Lewis


  • C.S. Lewis
    "There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind."
    C.S. Lewis


  • C.S. Lewis
    "He'll be coming and going" he had said. "One day you'll see him and another you won't. He doesn't like being tied down--and of course he has other countries to attend to. It's quite all right. He'll often drop in. Only you mustn't press him. He's wild, you know. Not like a tame lion."
    C.S. Lewis (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe)


  • C.S. Lewis
    "Once a King in Narnia, always a King in Narnia. But don't go trying to use the same route twice. Indeed, don't try to get there at all. It'll happen when you're not looking for it. And don't talk too much about it even among yourselves. And don't mention it to anyone else unless you find that they've had adventures of the same sort themselves. What's that? How will you know? Oh, you'll know all right. Odd things, they say-even their looks-will let the secret out. Keep your eyes open. Bless me, what do they teach them at these schools."
    -The Profesor"
    C.S. Lewis (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe)


  • C.S. Lewis
    "I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now...Come further up, come further in!"
    C.S. Lewis (The Last Battle)


  • C.S. Lewis
    "’You do not yet look as happy as I mean you to be.’
    Lucy said, ‘We’re so afraid of being sent away, Aslan. And you have sent us back into our own world so often.’
    ‘No fear of that,’ said Aslan. ‘Have you not guessed?’
    Their hearts leaped and a wild hope rose within them.
    ‘There was a real railway accident,’ said Aslan softly. ‘Your father and mother and all of you are – as you used to call it in the Shadowlands – dead. The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is over: this is the morning.’
    And as He spoke He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story, which no one on earth has ever read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before."
    C.S. Lewis (The Last Battle)


  • C.S. Lewis
    "But courage, child: we are all between the paws of the true Aslan."
    C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia)


  • C.S. Lewis
    "To the glistening eastern sea, I give you Queen Lucy the Valiant. To the great western woods, King Edmund the Just. To the radiant southern sun, Queen Susan the Gentle. And to the clear northern skies, I give you King Peter the Magnificent. Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia. May your wisdom grace us until the stars rain down from the heavens."
    C.S. Lewis (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe)


  • C.S. Lewis
    "[To have Faith in Christ] means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you."
    C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity)
