A Little More Lewis

I wasn’t able to get in all my favorite C.S. Lewis quotes last week, so here is part two.

 

There are only two kinds of people:  those who say to God, “Thy will be done,” and those to whom God says, “All right, then, have it your way.” - The Great Divorce

 

I sometimes wonder if all pleasures are not substitutes for joy. - Mere Christianity

 

Each day we are becoming a creature of splendid glory or one of unthinkable horror. - Mere Christianity

 

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. - A Grief Observed

 

We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. - The Abolition of Man

 

Joy is the serious business of heaven. - Letters to Malcolm

 

Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point. - The Screwtape Letters

 

Safe?” said Mr. Beaver; “don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ’Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.” - The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe

 

The term is over:  the holidays have begun.  The dream is ended:  this is the morning. - The Last Battle

 

There once was a boy named Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it. - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

 

I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Aslan to lead it. I’m going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn’t any Narnia. - The Silver Chair

 

I am in your world, said Aslan. But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there. - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

 

Courage, dear heart. - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

 

I encourage you to read some C.S. Lewis. Let me know if you want a recommendation.
