C S LEWIS, A CHRISTIANITY POINT OF VIEW, REDUX

C S  Lewis Mere Christianity Chapter 3 The Reality of the Law
  • Friendship is born when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one.
  • No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.
  • We are what we believe we are.
  • Aim at heaven, and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth, and you get neither.
 
  • I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else.
  • God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
  • Friendship is born when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one.
  • No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.
  • You can never get a large cup of tea or a book long enough to suit me.
  • Education without values, as practical as it is, seems instead to make a man a more clever devil.

“Don’t let your happiness depend on something you may lose.”

  • “I’m hungry. I’m thirsty. Where I bite, I hold till I die, and even after death, they must cut out my mouthful from my enemy’s body and bury it with me. I can fast a hundred years and not die. I can lie a hundred nights on the ice and not freeze. I can drink a river of blood and not burst. Show me your enemies.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia
