C S Lewis quotes
" A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell. "

C S Lewis
" A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride. "

C S Lewis
" A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. "

C S Lewis
" Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives. "

C S Lewis
" Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither. "

C S Lewis
" An explanation of cause is not a justification by reason. "

C S Lewis
" Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. "

C S Lewis
" Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important. "

C S Lewis
" Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point. "

C S Lewis
" Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. "

C S Lewis
" Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. "

C S Lewis
" Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities. "

C S Lewis
" Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. "

C S Lewis
" Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn. "

C S Lewis
" Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement. "
