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

“Even if there were pains in Heaven, all who understand would desire them.”

“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.”

“[A]ll that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.”

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

“In God you come up against something which is in every respect immeasurably superior to yourself. Unless you know God as that-and, therefore, know yourself as nothing in comparison-you do not know God at all.”

“The grave and the image are equally links with the irrecoverable and symbols for the unimaginable.”

“When you recognize or experience the truth about yourself you automatically feel love, because love is a quality of your true consciousness and true ideas.”

“Dissembling was so large a part of middle-class life that honesty and frankness seemed the most devious stratagem of all. The most outright lie was the closest one came to truth.”

“Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bullshit, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute - I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you”

“What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow.”

“When one realises one is asleep, at that moment one is already half-awake.”

“An Idea is nothing but Information, It won't do us any harm until we accept it as perception of truth in our mind, which in time will potentially evolve and construct major events in history.”
