Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning.
~C. S. Lewis

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.

I gave in, and admitted that God was God.
~C. S. Lewis
I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes
for joy.
~C. S. Lewis
If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have
found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the
universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was
dark. Dark would be without meaning.
~C. S. Lewis
If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and
because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only
logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same
reasons.
~C. S. Lewis
“We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best
for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.”
― C.S. Lewis
“No book is really
worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally – and often far more –
worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.”
― 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
“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, The Problem of Pain
If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if
you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap
and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.
~C. S. Lewis
If you read history you will find that the Christians who
did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the
next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world
that they have become so ineffective in this.
~C. S. Lewis
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a
jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like
eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary,
decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
~C. S. Lewis
It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see
one.
~C. S. Lewis
Let's pray that the human race never escapes from Earth to
spread its iniquity elsewhere.
~C. S. Lewis
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.
It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides;
and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already
become.
~C. S. Lewis
Long before history began we men have got together apart
from the women and done things. We had time.
~C. S. Lewis
No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.
~C. S. Lewis
Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really
yours.
~C. S. Lewis
Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same
story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of
us to see.
~C. S. Lewis
Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.
~C. S. Lewis
