- C. S. Lewis quotes
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, it has no survival value, rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
-C. S. Lewis quotes
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries, avoid all entanglements.
Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken, it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable”
-C.S. Lewis quotes
“Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable”

-C. S. Lewis quotes

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world”

“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 quotes
“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value, rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.”
-C. S. Lewis quotes
“My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line what was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?”
-C. S. Lewis quotes
“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else”
-C. S. Lewis quotes

-C. S. Lewis quotes
-C. S. Lewis quotes
“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
-C. S. Lewis quotes
“The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of ones own or real life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely ones real life, the life God is sending one day by day”
-C. S. Lewis quotes

-C. S. Lewis quotes

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 quotes
-C. S. Lewis quotes
“I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity”
-C. S. Lewis quotes
-C. S. Lewis quotes
Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery’s shadow or reflection the fact that you don’t merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.
-C. S. Lewis quotes
-C. S. Lewis quotes
We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road, in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.
-C. S. Lewis quotes
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
