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

“Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything.”

“Adventures are never fun while you're having them.”

“Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.”

“If there was a controlling power outside the universe, it could not show itself to us as one of the facts inside the universe -no more than the architect of a house could actually be a wall or staircase or fireplace in that house.

“Affliction is often that thing which prepares an ordinary person for some sort of an extraordinary destiny.”

“The demand that God should forgive a such a man while he remains what he is, is based on a confusion between condoning and forgiving. To condone an evil is simply to ignore it, to treat it as if it were good. But forgiveness needs to be accepted as well as offered if it is to be complete; and a man who admits no guilt can accept no forgiveness.”

“Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on Him who has all things safely in His hands.”

“Never doubt God in the darkness what he has given us in the light.”

“Why did God set it up like this?” Rachel asked. “With them as masters and us as slaves?”

“You speak of doing good to the world. Is the world such a small thing? And who are you, pray, to do good to the world? First realise God, see Him by means of spiritual discipline. If He imparts power you can do good to others; otherwise not.”

“We must be ready to learn from one another, not claiming that we alone possess all truth and that somehow we have a corner on God.”

“Who that prohibits two people who have different views about God to love each other?”
