Quotes by C. S. Lewis
Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities. A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride. Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive. Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind. God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing. Let's pray that the human race never escapes from Earth to spread its iniquity elsewhere. Humans are amphibians - half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time. An explanation of cause is not a justification by reason.
