Morality is a mountain which w...

Morality is a mountain which we cannot climb by our own efforts; and if we could we should only perish in the ice and unbreathable air of the summit, lacking those wings with which the rest of the journey has to be accomplished. For it is from there that the real ascent begins. The ropes and axes are 'done away' and the rest is a matter of flying.

If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Since I am I, I must make an act of self-surrender, however small or however easy, in living to God rather than to my self.

You can't analyze God. He is too awesome, too big, too mysterious,

If our deepest desires cannot be satisfied in this world, then we must have been made for another world.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Believing things on authority ...

Believing things on authority only means believing them because you have been told them by someone you think trustworthy. Ninety-nine per cent of the things you believe are believed on authority... Every historical event in the world is believed on authority. None of us has seen the Norman Conquest or the defeat of the Armada.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

As St. Paul points out, Christ...

As St. Paul points out, Christ never meant that we were to remain children in intelligence: on the contrary, He told us to be not only 'as harmless as doves,' but also 'as wise as serpents.' He wants a child's heart, but a grown-up's head.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

The Christian and the Material...

The Christian and the Materialist hold different beliefs about the universe. They can't both be right. The one who is wrong will act in a way which simply doesn't fit the real universe. Consequently, with the best will in the world, he will be helping his fellow creatures to their destruction.

All I am in private life is a literary critic and historian, that's my job...And I'm prepared to say on that basis if anyone thinks the Gospels are either legends or novels, then that person is simply showing his incompetence as a literary critic. I've read a great many novels and I know a fair amount about the legends that grew up among early people, and I know perfectly well the Gospels are not that kind of stuff.

A man can't be always defending the truth; there must be a time to feed on it.

Obedience is the road to freedom.

To be in love involves the mos...

To be in love involves the most irresistible conviction that one will go on being in love until one dies, and that possession of the beloved will confer, not merely frequent ecstasies, but settled, fruitful, deep-rooted, lifelong happiness.

I have often repented of speech but hardly ever of silence.

In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.

The real job of every moral teacher is to keep bringing us back to the simple principles, which we're so anxious not to see.

Look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in

Spying on people by magic is the same as spying on them in any other way.

Most people, if they had reall...

Most people, if they had really learned to look into their own hearts, would know that they do want, and want acutely, something that cannot be had in this world. There are all sorts of things in this world that offer to give it to you, but they never quite keep their promise.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Pride, on the other hand, is the mother of all sins, and the original sin of lucifer.... An instrument strung, but preferring to play itself because it thinks it knows the tune better than the Musician

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Human culture has always had to exist under the shadow of something infinitely more important than itself. If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search would never have begun.
