Write about what really interests you, whether it is real things or imaginary things, and nothing else. - C.S. Lewis
Some people write heavily, some write lightly. I prefer the light approach because I believe there is a great deal of false reverence about. There is too much solemnity and intensity in dealing with sacred matters; too much speaking in holy tones. - C.S. Lewis
The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not. - C.S. Lewis
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing. - 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
Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ, and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in. - C.S. Lewis
If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work. The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come. - C.S. Lewis
It is not your business to succeed, but to do right; when you have done so, the rest lies with God. - C.S. Lewis
Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted in spite of your changing moods. - C.S. Lewis
We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God. The world is crowded with him. He walks everywhere incognito. - C.S. Lewis
This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted. - C.S. Lewis
It cost God nothing, so far as we know, to create nice things: but to convert rebellious wills cost him crucifixion. - C.S. Lewis
Crying is all right in its way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do. - C.S. Lewis
