Quotes

Your Majesty would have a perfect right to strike off his head," said Peridan. "Such an assault as he made puts him on a level with assassins."It is very true," said Edmund. "But even a traitor may mend. I have known one that did." And he looked very thoughtful. C. S. Lewis
[a] strange sense of excessive pleasure which seemed somehow to be communicated to him through all his senses at once. I use the word 'excessive' because Ransom himself could only describe it by saying that for his first few days in Perelandra he was haunted, not with a feeling of guilt, but by surprise that he had no such feeling. C. S. Lewis
Nothing in Man is either worse or better for being shared with the beasts. When we blame a man for being "a mere animal", we mean not that he displays animal characteristics (we all do) but that he displays these, and only these, on occasions where the specifically human was demanded. (When we call him "brutal" we usually mean that he commits cruelties impossible to most real brutes; they’re not clever enough). C. S. Lewis
They were really getting quite fond of their strange pet and hoped that Aslan would allow them to keep it. The cleverer ones were quite sure by now that at least some of the noises which came out of his mouth had a meaning. They christened him Brandy because he made that noise so often. C. S. Lewis
You invaded Narnia. You have no more right leading than Miraz does. Peter Pevensie: You, him, your father! Narnia's better off without the lot of you! C. S. Lewis
Those are the big mountains between Archenland and Narnia. I must have come through the pass in the night. What luck that I hit it! -- at least, it wasn't luck at all, really. It was Him! And now, I'm in Narnia. C. S. Lewis
If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be; if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all C. S. Lewis
And there’s also ‘To him that hath shall be given.’ After all, you must have a capacity to receive, or even omnipotence can’t give. Perhaps your own passion temporarily destroys the capacity. C. S. Lewis
... the very last thing I want to do is to unsettle in the mind of any Christian, whatever his denomination, the concepts -- for him traditional -- by which he finds it profitable to represent to himself what is happening when he receives the bread and wine. I could wish that no definitions had ever been felt to be necessary; and, still more, that none had been allowed to make divisions between churches. C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis quote: "Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying..."
Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment. C. S. Lewis
Of course the cat will growl and spit at the operator and bite him if she can. But the real question is whether he is a vet or a vivisector. C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis quote: "Father! Can I box him? Please!"
Father! Can I box him? Please! C. S. Lewis
He shows much more of Himself to some people than to others-not because He has favourites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition. C. S. Lewis
A Christian cannot, therefore, believe any of those who promise that if only some reform in our economic, political, or hygienic system were made, a heaven on earth would follow. This might seem to have a discouraging effect on the social worker, but it is not found in practice to discourage him. C. S. Lewis
I suppose every one knows this fear of getting “drawn in”—the moment at which a man realizes that what had seemed mere speculations are on the point of landing him in the Communist Part or Christian Church—the sense that a door has just slammed and left him on the inside. C. S. Lewis
