The very power of [textbook wr...

The very power of [textbook writers] depends on the fact that they are dealing with a boy: a boy who thinks he is 'doing' his 'English prep' and has no notion that ethics, theology, and politics are all at stake. It is not a theory they put into his mind, but an assumption, which ten years hence, its origin forgotten and its presence unconscious, will condition him to take one side in a controversy which he has never recognized as a controversy at all.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

For every one pupil who needs ...

For every one pupil who needs to be guarded against a weak excess of sensibility there are three who need to be awakened from the slumber of cold vulgarity. The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

No justification of virtue wil...

No justification of virtue will enable a man to be virtuous. Without the aid of trained emotions the intellect is powerless against the animal organism. I had sooner play cards against a man who was quite skeptical about ethics, but bred to believe that 'a gentleman does not cheat', than against an irreproachable moral philosopher who had been brought up among sharpers.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Falling in love is something t...

Falling in love is something that happens to us, being is love is something we do. No passion is self preservatory.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Each time you fall He'll pick ...

Each time you fall He'll pick you up. He knows your own efforts are never going to bring you anywhere near perfection

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Faith, in the sense in which I...

Faith, in the sense in which I am here using the word, is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods.

The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Submit to death, death of your...

Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end: submit with every fiber of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. . . look to Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

When once a man is launched on...

When once a man is launched on such an adventure as this, he must bid farewell to hopes and fears, otherwise death or deliverance will both come too late to save his honor and his reason. Ho, my beauties!

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Not that I am (I think) in muc...

Not that I am (I think) in much danger of ceasing to believe in God. The real danger is of coming to believe such dreadful things about Him. The conclusion I dread is not 'So there's no God after all,' but 'So this is what God's really like. Deceive yourself no longer.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

In great literature, I become ...

In great literature, I become a thousand different men but still remain myself.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

We are born helpless. As soon ...

We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness. We need others physically, emotionally, and intellectually. We need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves.

The death of a beloved is an amputation.

I thought I could describe a state; make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, hoever, turns out to be not a state but a process.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Five senses; an incurably abst...

Five senses; an incurably abstract intellect; a haphazardly selective memory; a set of preconceptions and assumptions so numerous that I can never examine more than a minority of them - never become even conscious of them all.

Wouldn't he know without being asked?' said Polly. 'I've no doubt he would,' said the Horse (still with his mouth full). 'But I've a sort of an idea he likes to be asked.

One must never be either content with, or impatient with, oneself.

Evil comes from the ABUSE of free will

I wish we didn't live in a world where buying and selling things seems to have become almost more important than either producing or using them.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

A man who was merely a man and...

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said wouldn't be a great moral teacher. He'd be either a lunatic on a level with a man who says he's a poached egg or else he'd be the devil of hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.
