God Quote by C.S. Lewis — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“It is hard to have patience with people who say, ‘There is no death’ or ‘Death doesn’t matter.’ There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as wel say that birth doesn’t matter.”

“Oh God, God, why did you take such trouble to force this creature out of its shell if it is now doomed to crawl back -- to be sucked back -- into it?”

“What do people mean when they say, 'I am not afraid of God because I know He is good'? Have they never even been to a dentist?”

The simplest student will be able to understand, if not all, yet a very great deal of what Plato said; but hardly anyone can understand some modern books on Platonism.”

“God presents the Sabbath rest as a shelter we can enter. (Hebrews 4:1-11)”

“My God is love and sweetly suffers all.”

“My ACTIONS should draw people to the God I serve, not my SALES PITCH. If people want what I have, they'll ask me how to get it. If not, that's their business.”

“God wants man, whom he has created and in whose heart he has so profoundly entrenched a love for life, to do all he can to preseve an existence that is sometimes so painful, but always so dear to him.”

“We are here in a wood of little beeches:”

“Mine was a patchwork God, sewn together from bits of rag and ribbon, Eastern and Western, pagan and Hebrew, everything but the kitchen sink and Jesus.”
