Grief ... gives life a permane...

Grief ... gives life a permanently provisional feeling. It doesn't seem worth starting anything. I can't settle down. I yawn, I fidget, I smoke too much. Up till this I always had too little time. Now there is nothing but time. Almost pure time, empty successiveness.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Here the whole world (stars, w...

Here the whole world (stars, water, air, And field, and forest, as they were Reflected in a single mind) Like cast off clothes was left behind In ashes, yet with hopes that she, Re-born from holy poverty, In lenten lands, hereafter may Resume them on her Easter Day.' (Epitaph for Joy Gresham)

Perfect goodness can never deb...

Perfect goodness can never debate about the end to be attained, and perfect wisdom cannot debate about the means most suited to achieve it.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

If I, being what I am, can con...

If I, being what I am, can consider that I am in some sense a Christian, why should the different vices of those people in the next pew prove that their religion is mere hypocrisy and convention?

All killing is not murder any more than all sexual intercourse is adultery.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

The monstrosity of sexual inte...

The monstrosity of sexual intercourse outside marriage is that those who indulge in it are trying to isolate one kind of union (the sexual) from all the other kinds of union which were intended to go along with it and make up the total union.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Every age has its own outlook....

Every age has its own outlook. It is specially good at seeing certain truths and specially liable to make certain mistakes. We all, therefore, need the books that will correct the characteristic mistake of our own period. And that means the old books.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

And since we cannot deceive th...

And since we cannot deceive the whole human race all the time, it is most important thus to cut every generation off from all others; for where learning makes a free commerce between the ages there is always the danger that the characteristic errors of one may be corrected by the characteristic truths of another.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

You know what this is, I suppo...

You know what this is, I suppose. Religious melancholia. Stop while there is time. If you dive, you dive into insanity.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

It costs God nothing, so far as we know, to create nice things: but to convert rebellious wills cost Him crucifixion.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

If He who in Himself can lack ...

If He who in Himself can lack nothing, chooses to need us, it is because we need to be needed.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

The question is not what we in...

The question is not what we intended ourselves to be, but what He intended us to be when He made us.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

The proper rewards are not sim...

The proper rewards are not simply tacked on to the activity for which they are given, but are the activity itself in consummation.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Perfect humility dispenses wit...

Perfect humility dispenses with modesty.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

If God is satisfied with the work, the work may be satisfied with itself.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

When humans should have become...

When humans should have become as perfect in voluntary obedience as the inanimate creation is in its lifeless obedience, then they will put on its glory, or rather that greater glory of which Nature is only the first sketch.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

As long as this deliberate ref...

As long as this deliberate refusal to understand things from above, even where such understanding is possible, continues, it is idle to talk of any final victory over materialism.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

No Christian and, indeed, no h...

No Christian and, indeed, no historian could accept the epigram which defines religion as 'what a man does with his solitude.'

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

To make Christianity a private...

To make Christianity a private affair while banishing all privacy is to relegate it to the rainbow's end or the Greek Calends.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Safety and happiness can only ...

Safety and happiness can only come from individuals, classes, and nations being honest and fair and kind to each other.
