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

“His Omnipotence means power to do all that is intrinsically possible, not to do the intrinsically impossible. You may attribute miracles to Him, but not nonsense. This is no limit to His power. If you choose to say, ‘God can give a creature free will and at the same time withhold free will from it,’ you have not succeeded in saying anything about God: meaningless combinations of words do not suddenly acquire meaning simply because we prefix to them the two other words, 'God can.' It remains true that all things are possible with God: the intrinsic impossibilities are not things but nonentities. It is no more possible for God than for the weakest of His creatures to carry out both of two mutually exclusive alternatives; not because His power meets an obstacle, but because nonsense remains nonsense even when we talk it about God.”

“I have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”

“My idea of God is not a divine idea. It has to be shattered time after time. He shatters it Himself.”

“I do not expect old heads on young shoulders.”

“You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.”

“God created heaven on earth but man created hell.”

“يُعطي الله كل طير طعامه، لكنه لا يرميه له في العش.”

“I do not know the answers to life's hard questions, but I do know the One who knows them and that's sufficient...for now.”

“The event of falling in love is of such a nature that we are right to reject as intolerable the idea that it should be transitory. In one high bound it has overleaped the massive of our selfhood; it has made appetite itself altruistic, tossed personal happiness aside as a triviality and planted the interests of another in the centre of our being. Spontaneously and without effort we have fulfilled the law (towards one person) by loving our neighbour as ourselves. It is an image, a foretaste, of what we must become to all if Love Himself rules in us without a rival. It is even (well used) a preparation for that.”

“Untold stars wander through the unending depth of the cosmos. Radiant thoughts of God. They are all happy, for God wants the universe to be happy. Only there is one among them that does not share this fate. Did God forget this star? Or did he grant it the highest glory by giving it the freedom of struggling up by its own strength? We do not know.”
